Product Design Engineer: Design with one step at a time

About Me

Malaysian-born, Australian and Glasgow-educated, I approach design as a Product Design Engineer with a fundamental question: "how?" This inquiry drives me to continuously refine every detail, aiming to elevate the function of everyday essentials across furniture, smart home technology, and clothing. I firmly believe that thoughtful craftsmanship fosters both longevity and a delightful user experience. My inherent fascination with how things work fuels my entire design process, and I deeply value the intimacy of limited production, where each piece feels uniquely considered.

 
  • My design process is fundamentally driven by inquiry: I perpetually question the 'why' behind every creation. Delving into who the user truly is and the specific scenarios in which a design will thrive allows me to precisely calibrate every detail. This approach ensures an optimal balance, delivering designs that are neither superfluous nor lacking, but rather perfectly resolved.

  • In the dynamic realm of design, encountering moments of profound uncertainty and creative chaos is inevitable. Yet, it's precisely in these junctures that one must fully embrace and trust the iterative nature of the process, pushing forward with conviction. The process itself is merely the compass; the true destination is the tangible realization of the design.

  • Learning the nuanced art of "undesign" is one of the most challenging, yet crucial, lessons for a design engineer. It's about recognizing that not every element demands explicit design intervention; sometimes, true elegance and even enhanced functionality emerge when certain details are deliberately left untouched. The beauty lies in understanding when restraint serves the design best.
