What I do

I design products, from analyzing a problem to materializing a complete solution.


Research

I will leave no stone unturned while doing my research. Understanding the needs of the user is a big part of my process.

Ideation

My love for sketching shows during the ideation phase of projects. Let the ideas flow!

Concept Development

Developing an idea into a tangible concept and bringing it to live, its great to see your ideas grow.

Materialization

Connecting the last dots, applying the final touches. Ready for production!

Prototyping

Whats more amazing then seeing your idea in front of you for the first time!
