The L'OR Barista line needed a more compact, sustainable double-capsule machine for space-constrained European kitchens. I contributed to industrial design and engineering, prototyping in 3D CAD and exploring colors, materials, and finishes within manufacturing and sustainability constraints. A machine just 8 cm wide, the thinnest in its class, built with 80% reused parts from existing platforms. Launched as the L'OR Barista Petite, now available across Europe.

The original SteamBox lunchbox heated unevenly, leaving cold spots that frustrated daily users. I redesigned the inner container to improve steam circulation, using a gas-permeable, waterproof material and reworked geometry. Built CAD prototypes, ran client presentations, and tested the design through 3D-printed iterations. Improved steam permeability by 70%, achieving more uniform heating and a stronger user experience for hot food on the go.

Combining LED light therapy with athletic wear meant solving a contradiction: stretchability wants loose structures, electronics want stability, comfort wants softness. I researched materials and designed a custom stretch pattern, integrating LEDs, conductive threads, and Arduino Lilypad into a wearable sleeve. Hands-on prototyping and stretch testing drove the design. Achieved +150% stretchability while keeping LEDs functional, packaged as an expo-ready wearable concept.

Cities increasingly face flooding, debris-clogged drainage, and crushed-pipe failures from heavy rainfall and modern urban loads. I redesigned a modular stormwater management system focused on durability, maintenance, and failure modes, validated through engineering review and load simulation. A modular system that withstands 70 tons of load and filters rainfall up to 110 mm/hour. Robust infrastructure designed for the exact conditions cities need it for.

MyLeveling's supplement packaging needed to translate the brand identity to a shelf context, where it had to communicate quality and category in under three seconds against louder competitor packaging. I extended the brand identity to packaging with focus on clarity, hierarchy, and shelf presence, designing across product variants. Packaging that holds its own in a crowded category and reads as confident, not loud. Shipped across the product line and used as the visual standard for new variants.

Designing a kids' outdoor game requires removing every layer of confusion — children disengage instantly when rules feel unclear. In a university–BS Toys collaboration, I designed Pals & Palms, a pirate-themed outdoor game with simple rules, repeatable play loops, and self-teaching mechanics. I led ideation, prototyping, packaging, and presentation. Won #1 Product at the IDE Expo and was selected by BS Toys for further consideration.
