Hi, I’m Kalkidan Tesfaye, an architect and product designer with 7 years of hands-on experience in product design, woodwork, material behavior, and upcycling. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible, sustainable designs that blend aesthetics with practical functionality.
Over the years I’ve led architectural and product design projects, coordinating teams across Addis Ababa and remote collaborations in the US. My work spans architectural design, interior design, jewelry CAD design, and wood product design, with ongoing studies in interior design styles.
