BIO
I started studying industrial design due to my love for art and fitness. Having a creative background in art has helped me develop a creative way of critical and technical thinking. Furthermore, weight lifting is a trial and error sport, practicing until you have perfected form and I find myself reflecting this in my design process. Creating a design concept after hours of ideating has the same satisfaction as perfecting a way of lifting after hours in the gym. Fitness and design has taught me to stay determined and never give up, appreciating all the effort and dedication put into it.
