About

I’m a multidisciplinary design leader working at the intersection of industrial design, mobility, and storytelling. Over the past decade, I’ve helped teams and brands translate complex ideas into clear, emotionally resonant product experiences — spanning transport systems, consumer objects, and brand ecosystems. I’m currently building NVRFOUND, a hybrid design agency focused on two missions: ONE: Designing high-impact product and brand experiences for emerging ventures. TWO: Creating its own series of limited-edition, collectible objects. In parallel, I lead an experimental design lab exploring how AI and computation reshape creative workflows — from conceptualising and visualisation to speculative design systems. My work sits between clarity and curiosity — connecting rigorous process with the poetic side of design. I believe every object, interface, or system is an opportunity to tell a story about how we move, make, and live. Focus Areas:– Industrial & Mobility Design– Brand & System Design – Design Strategy & Storytelling – Generative Design & AI Workflows. Let’s connect if you’re building something.
