About

Passionate about creating meaningful solutions through product design, I am an industrial designer specializing in problem-solving and innovation. With a blend of technical skills and an eye for aesthetics, I aspire to make a positive impact on the world.

Amuza is an engaging, interactive system tailored for children of Generation Alpha. It consists of a pinewood board with strategically placed holes where children can attach large, soft gears using bolts that double as lamps. As the gears spin, they generate electricity, causing the bolts to light up. These glowing bolts can then be moved to other areas, creating ambient lighting in different spaces. Designed for collective environments such as schools, museums, and co-housing playrooms, Amuza encourages hands-on engagement and collaboration among children. In a world dominated by technology, it is more important than ever to provide opportunities that keep children away from screens and support their physical, cognitive, and social development. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Amuza embodies the urgency to recognize energy as a vital source for our survival. Amuza is more than just a tool for creativity, skill-building, problem-solving, and teamwork—it brings joy and excitement to the lives of our future generations.
