Award\-Winning Industrial Designer \| Sustainability & Circular Design \| Curiosity drives my Creativity \| Phil 4:13

## About

From a young age, I was naturally inclined toward fixing, improving, and reimagining products around me\. Whether it was repairing broken toys or building small solutions from whatever materials were available, design has always been an instinct\-not a skill I discovered later\. Gardening further shaped the way I think: observing how nature solves problems through simplicity, intelligence, and form\. Nature remains my biggest teacher and inspiration\. I see it as the world’s greatest designer, and many of my ideas originate from understanding how natural systems work\. Over the years, this curiosity evolved into a disciplined practice\. I’m constantly sketching, exploring concepts, and prototyping\. I enjoy working hands\-on with materials and bringing ideas to life quickly and effectively\. Along with that, I’m strong in research and concept development, ensuring every design choice has purpose and clarity\. I’ve had experience across multiple domains: sustainability projects, design internships, and furniture design\-each shaping my approach to user\-centred, functional, and meaningful design\. My long\-term aspiration is to work in consumer appliances, creating products that genuinely improve human life through thoughtful innovation\. Every achievement in my journey, including national recognition for my academic projects, is something I’m deeply grateful for\. I believe I’ve reached this stage only by the grace, strength, and guidance of Jesus, who has been the foundation of my progress and purpose\. I’m always open to meaningful collaborations, design discussions, and opportunities that push the boundaries of what products can do for people\.
