Product designer

I collaborated closely with customers and various departments, including Marketing, Sales, and Technicians. This experience enriched my design approach, making it more comprehensive.

 

Among the exciting projects I worked on was the design of a new modular sofa, H.Sofa, which consists of a single component, streamlining the manufacturing process. I tackled numerous challenging tasks, such as redesigning the existing Kin Modular Series and replacing outdated designs.

 

Additionally, I managed photoshoots, photo editing, and video direction for the Mid-Night collection, and I developed a material library for Keyshot to achieve more realistic renders, which has since become the company’s standard.

Our homes have always been where we look forward to returning for comfort and rest after a long day of work. Yet, a pandemic has transformed our homes into a place where work and rest now overlap. Through learning from individuals about how things have changed for them while working from home, we know there is much more that we can do to stay relevant to your workspaces – to provide a balance between aesthetics and ergonomic well-being for practical home offices. Livework for Home focuses on the dining table and study table, where most of us would be working from. Introducing the idea of ‘hybridity’ for an adaptable home office, this series is an ongoing exploration that we want to build for the community.

Colour and Trim Design Intern

A future concept car collaborated with a MINI interior designer. " MINI Humania " is a study about the relationship between humans and machines in our future.

 

I've designed a material collection through different techniques, colours, and materials that interact with light to trigger our personal feelings. It gives you the possibility to through back in a specific moment of your life.

 

MINI and you have been traveling together and having many crazy adventures in different countries. The various country/city has contained specific memories for you. Therefore, I've proposed four moments that I would love to go back to MINI & Chill, MINI afternoon, Embrace The City, and Dream With MINI.

What is Humania ? - Gives MINI a little touch of humanity.

Humania X Light - Evoking your feelings

This edited research video concludes and visualises the feeling about how our daily objects interact with nature and artificial light in our daily life. Moreover, it also presents how lights change our perception of colours.

- About Humania

Now, imagine if this car can bring you back to any country you have been to anytime you want!

Traveling can be very enjoyable and exciting. Why won't you tell MINI what you want or perhaps let MINI surprise you!

- My Material Sketch

The materials together with lights emulate the texture, color, and structures. Their shape, colour, and texture reflect our memories.

We are all dreaming about the future. The advantages of technology have made our life easier. It has also made us distant from societies. However, design has allowed us to explore our surroundings. Yet, we lack connection inside the car. In MINI Humania everything starts from the human perspective. Seats are not only building relationships, but they also reflect our humanity. Humania triggers our emotions gives the feeling whenever you would like to feel again.
