Explorations

I have a passion for exploring diverse areas of design, constantly experimenting with a range of materials and technology. My curiosity drives me to push the boundaries of what's possible, blending traditional techniques with innovative approaches. From the tactile feel of new materials to the dynamic capabilities of technology, each experiment offers a unique challenge and opportunity for discovery. This journey of experimentation not only enriches my understanding but also shapes my creative process, allowing me to craft distinctive designs that stand at the intersection of functionality and artistry.

Inflatables

Weather responsive blanket

I created an inflatable blanket that uses air inflation foradjustable warmth, drawing inspiration from traditional square stitching for even air distribution. I've used temperature sensors that adjust the air volume—adding more for cold weather and less when it's warm—to offer customizable comfort. This method eliminates the need for electrical heating, providing a safer, more adaptable alternative to conventional technologies.

Lotus

Light and Mechanics

I designed a lotus lamp featuring petals that open and close through a mechanical system to regulate light exposure. This design not only adds an aesthetic element inspired by nature but also allows for adjustable illumination, providing both functionality and beauty in a single piece. The lamp's petals mimic the natural opening and closing movement of a lotus flower, responding to user adjustments to create the perfect ambiance for any setting.

Chakra Check

Speculative Design

I created Chakra-Check, a tool that shows your energy centers' state through visual signals, helping track physical and emotional health. It uses LED lights to indicate energy balance or reveal blockages. This device simplifies understanding personal energy, guiding users towards harmony by using sensorsto detect symptoms of chakra imbalance. With Chakra-Check, I aim to enhance self-awareness and life balance by connecting you with your inner energy.
