Design Built on
Real-World Demands.

I am a first-year Master's student in the Collaborative and Industrial Design program at Aalto University with a unique foundation: before I started designing products, I spent years fixing them. With a professional background in heavy machinery maintenance and inspection, I bring a practical, hands-on perspective to the design process.

I strive to combine that technical grit with advanced design methods. Whether I am CAD modeling, analyzing user data, or exploring the possibilities of AI in design, my focus remains the same: creating products that deliver genuine value and safety to the people who rely on them.
