DESIGN PROJECTS

My design practice focuses on human factors design, embodied cognition, 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 design projects I have worked on in the past years. Feel free to reach out to collaborate!
