I design for what the body cannot do alone.
Wearable technology should not simply sit on the body. It should move with it, respond to it, and expand what it is capable of doing.
As an industrial designer, I am drawn to problems where the human body and existing products fall short. I believe the most meaningful design opportunities are often found in physical limitations, whether helping someone lift a weakened leg, maintain better posture, work with less strain, or recover from injury. My process combines human-centered research, biomechanics, emerging technology, and hands-on prototyping to transform complex challenges into wearable systems that feel intuitive, functional, and natural to use.
My work has included assistive exosuits, occupational exoskeletons, rehabilitation devices, and diagnostic wearables, taking projects from early research and experimentation through functional prototypes and user testing. Across each project, my goal remains the same: to design products that work in harmony with the body and give people greater confidence, independence, and capability.
