About Me
With a career spanning over 25 years in industrial design, I am currently the Executive Industrial Design Director at a leading global home appliance manufacturer. My passion for innovation and empathy-driven design has allowed me to lead a dynamic team in creating products that deeply resonate with users.
My expertise lies in blending the art of design with the science of functionality and manufacturing excellence. This approach has redefined the boundaries of product design, brand identity, and user experience. During the Covid-19 pandemic, my leadership was instrumental in incorporating ultra-hygienic features and enhancing our design processes with agility, ensuring that we not only adapted to the challenges but thrived.
I am particularly proud of revolutionizing the aesthetic and user experience for three flagship household appliance brands. By infusing these brands with a modern ethos, we have forged a profound emotional bond between the products and their users. One unique example of our innovation is the pioneering concept of 'Virtual User Experience' (VUX), which has set a new standard in our industry.
My dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and technology is also reflected in my commitment to education and mentorship. This has been recognized with over 200 prestigious awards, including the Red Dot and IF Design Awards. In this digital age, my work exemplifies the power of combining creativity with technology, always keeping the human experience at the forefront.
