Artificial
Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is embedded into my daily workflow. I use AI to accelerate research, exploration, prototyping, content creation, design systems thinking and product strategy — making every phase of the design process faster, more intentional and more impactful.

I do
other
stuff.

Outside of client projects, I explore ideas through industrial design, product concept development, and personal illustration — three ongoing creative territories that keep my thinking fresh and my range broad.

Industrial Design · Acoustic System

"Acoustic functionality meets biophilic aesthetics — a single adaptable system that shapes collaboration, focus, and emotional comfort in modern workspaces."
Yoku — in-context render in office space

A modular acoustic product system designed to improve concentration, comfort, and spatial organisation in open work environments. Combines sound absorption, spatial design, mobility, and biophilic aesthetics into a single adaptable system.

While a single unit already improves acoustic quality, combining multiple modules creates dynamic micro-spaces that naturally contain noise — approaching sound management as part of the emotional and spatial experience of a workplace.

Industrial Design · Lighting Concept
Stilit
Stilit — cover shot
Stilit — mesh detail Stilit — ambient light Stilit — context

A minimalist industrial lamp built from four metallic mesh panels, a central wooden board, stainless steel legs, and a warm LED bulb. The mesh creates dynamic shadows and soft indirect light while the upper board doubles as a functional side surface.

Form and function reduced to their essentials — a warm atmospheric experience through material simplicity and industrial transparency.

A personal collection of digital illustrations exploring identity, symbolism, emotion, and visual storytelling — contemporary illustration, editorial art, anime aesthetics, surrealism, and symbolic portraiture.

Each piece explores a different emotional atmosphere with strong focus on composition, colour contrast, and expressive minimalism. Colour used as emotional language.
