Work Experience

Product Design & Prototyping Intern at Philips Avent

August 1, 2025 - September 24, 2025

Developed a modular, spill-proof toddler cup system for graduation project. Created three design iterations from CAD to functional prototypes, and conducted 20 user tests with parents, leading to refinements that reduced spillages by 80% vs industry benchmark. Collaborated with engineers to optimize for manufacturability using DFM/DFA, simplified geometry, and reduced material use by 50%. Patent-pending design integrated into Philips Avent's pipeline.

Design Intern at Manometric

February 1, 2023 - September 24, 2025

Redesigned a 3D-printed wrist brace for arthritis patients, focusing on comfort for elderly users and compatibility with the 3D scanning workflow. Worked with physiotherapists and engineers to develop alternative strap systems, improving ease of donning and doffing; emphasized ergonomics and durability.

Product Design & Prototyping Intern at Philips Avent

August 31, 2025 - September 24, 2025

Developed a modular, spill-proof toddler cup system as part of graduation project. Created three full design iterations from CAD models to functional prototypes. Conducted 20 user tests with parents, leveraging insights to refine the design and reduce spillages by 80% against the Munchkin 360 benchmark. Collaborated with engineers to optimize for manufacturability using Design for Assembly and Design for Manufacturing principles, aligning with mouldability standards, simplifying part geometry and reducing material use by 50%. Result is a patent-pending design integrated into Philips Avent’s product pipeline.
