About

I am an industrial designer with a strong interest in furniture design and woodworking. My work focuses on creating thoughtful, long-lasting objects that encourage meaningful interactions between people. I enjoy exploring materials, craftsmanship, and the relationship between people and everyday objects. Through my design practice, I aim to create functional pieces that bring comfort, connection, and lasting value to everyday life.

Intermission

Starting from a simple observation of how we move through space today, especially in fast-paced environments where everything feels constant and continuous, and there is very little moment to slow down or pause. Intermission, is a resting space designed for people living in a busy modern society. It is furniture that allows people to feel the comfort of home, even when they are not at home. I aim to blend spaces as one—not just in how they look, but in how they move with life. I design for pace, for pause, and for the quiet rituals that make time feel like your own.
