Curious and methodical, I move between physical design and digital systems. My work often begins with loose experiments and grows through testing, adjustment, and repetition. Accomodating structure and intuition, I explore how thoughtful processes can turn ideas into clear, functional outcomes.

Backpack

50 L Storage
X-Pac/Axodyne
Waterproof

True and tested, this bag has withstood mountains and taken on long and wet music festivals without faltering.  TPU coated zips, rain hoods, and an orange whistle will keep you dry and safe, when conditons turn. A long front zipper means you’re not unrolling every time you need to grab that one muesli bar that has fallen to the bottom of the bag.

Pill Box

Shou Sugi Ban Timber
Aluminium 
Walnut PLA

The form of my pill box takes inspiration from a fallen log, a symbol of renewal found in nature. Its charred timber surface recalls the natural process of regeneration after fire, while the precise inner layersand magnets reference modern medicine. Together, they bridge organic healing and human design, suggesting that care can come from both nature and nurture, tradition and technology. Objects can’t care for us, but they can remind us to care for ourselves.

This project is a personalised audio device that uses magnets to trigger reed switches that play sound. Made to offer a hands-on alternative to traditional meditation or mindfulness practices this device is a study in contact and interruption. Encased in a minimal shell, it invites listening through touch, a small system of chance, pattern, and sound.
