01 / Personal profile

About me

Mechanical thinking.
Human-centred design.

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with more than seven years of experience developing practical products, production drawings, assemblies and manufacturing improvements. I currently work in London, transforming initial concepts and technical requirements into clear, feasible and production-ready solutions.

My approach combines CAD expertise, engineering analysis, manufacturing awareness and structured problem solving. Alongside physical product design, I apply UI/UX principles to create digital experiences that make complex engineering information easier to understand and use.

03 / Core design process

From research
to product launch.

My process connects engineering judgement, digital tools and manufacturing reality. Every decision is tested against function, feasibility, cost and the experience of the person using it.
