At Formunk design studio, I work across industrial design, mechanical engineering, branding, and digital experiences, turning ideas into manufacturable products. One project was a reverse vending machine prototype commissioned by the Coca-Cola Company, where I led industrial design and project management.

At Meama LLC, I designed vending machines and coffee capsule machines, and later created the industrial design team. Together, we developed machines for offices, public spaces, and home use; some reached the market and others entered production.

I also teach at Georgian Technical University, supervising students from ideation through prototyping. My work and research connect design, engineering, and wellbeing, with a focus on human-centered, production-ready products.
