What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can design playful, joyful, sustainable products. I want to work end-to-end—from user and trend research through prototyping—using responsible, circular, and design-to-market methods.

I’m a Graduate Product Designer passionate about creating playful, joyful, and sustainable products. I enjoy collaborative creative environments and I translate ideas into brand-appropriate designs that inspire users. I’m skilled in sketching, 3D modelling (Fusion 360, Blender), and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), taking concepts from trend research through to prototyping.

In my University of Brighton professional practices, I developed a hybrid air purifier addressing indoor air pollution. I conducted user & trend research, completed analysis, built prototypes, and presented final outcomes.

I also focus on responsible design and design-to-market thinking—using circular economy approaches, product disassembly, and impact model analysis to redesign an electrical product with lower environmental impact (Fusion360, Keyshot). Using DFMA principles and fabrication methods (CNC machining, laser cutting, Plasma cutting), I developed a product for market, and I designed an interactive shopping website using Figma; I further explored physical computing (Arduino) and Virtual Reality to understand how design technologies apply in real products.
