Projects

Each project is a response—shaped by context, driven by materiality and rooted in social awareness.

Through various materials, tools, and disciplines, these works explore how design can empower autonomous initiatives through low-key gestures.

Some are collaborations, others are deeply personal. All are part of an ongoing inquiry into different forms of tactile engagement.
