INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER | BC, CANADA.

I AM AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER, EDUCATOR, AND RESEARCHER WITH A BACKGROUND IN USER-CENTRED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, DIGITAL FABRICATION, AND HUMAN FACTORS DESIGN.

DESIGN PROJECTS

My design practice focuses on human factors design, tangible interactions, discursive design, and digital fabrication.

I am an advocate of accessible design and always try to incorporate accessibility not only in the use of designed objects but also in their creation. In some projects I have collaborated on, I initiated the outcome to be fabricated in a manner that is easily accessible and replicable to most people using digital fabrication methods.

Below are some design projects I have worked on in the past years. Feel free to view other design projects and reach out to collaborate.

TEACHING

I discovered my passion for teaching during my time in university as a student studying Industrial Design. I was inspired by my educators and I hope to empower the budding designers, the same way I was, to appreciate the value of education and learning. This extends to advocating for design to other fields as well.

I joined Emily Carr University of Art + Design as a Sessional Instructor in 2024, teaching Industrial Design courses, after completing my Master's degree in the same insitution.

RESEARCH

My research involves affordance-based design approaches to exploring embodied cognition principles, especially in design pedagogy as well as the use of designed objects as conversations through making or catalysts for discourse in their interaction.
