PROJECTS

A combination cutlery comprising a Fork + spOON + chopsTICKs.

KapiKa ::

In many 3rd world countries, less fortunate families are forced to travel dangerously on motorcycles. Very often seen are 2 or 3 children sandwiched by thier parents on busy roads. KapiKa is a body attachment designed to provide extra seating, some storage space and protection from the sun and rain without having to buy a car. KapiKa is designed to be a safer alternative for family travel.

Rudolph the moose or elch in german is part of the Koziol Christmas collection as a keychain and Christmas tree ornament. Also designed while on placement.

I have always wanted to be to be a designer. But what designer, I wasn’t sure. So, when I heard about the course Product/Industrial Design, it immediately felt like the perfect course for me as it involves both technicality and creativity.

I tend to explore colours and shapes in my designs as well as integrating eastern and western elements. I believe that products should be designed to enrich lives, to help facilitate in daily activities and to improve the quality of life - physically, mentally and emotionally. I consider my style as fun and playful but at the same time functional.

I am multi-disciplinary designer. Currently my freelance work include: Products, Websites, Graphics and a little bit of Fashion Design (bags, T-shirts). I am hoping that a job in the industry will give me a chance to explore the more technologically demanding side of Product Design and develop more sophisticated products.
