Product Design Engineer: Design where detail meets the everyday.
About Me
Malaysian-born, Australian-educated, and now a Glasgow-based product design engineer, I approach design with the artistry of a craftsperson. I meticulously refine every detail to elevate the function of everyday essentials in furniture, smart home technology, and clothing, believing that thoughtful craftsmanship fosters both longevity and a delightful user experience. My fascination with how things work fuels my process, and I value the intimacy of limited production, where each piece feels uniquely considered.

Appreciate the little things
This design philosophy, celebrates the often-overlooked details that define quality. From the precision of a seam to the subtle use of gradient, I believe small choices have a ripple effect, enhancing user experience, product longevity, and overall aesthetic impact. -
My ultimate vision is to become a guiding force in modern lifestyle design. For select clients, I offer personalized consultations to curate a cohesive aesthetic across furniture, clothing, and technology, crafting a uniquely expressive space. Through my meticulously designed products and carefully presented visual content, I strive to inspire a discerning audience who seeks both innovation and enduring style. My work is where detail meets the essential – a testament to my belief in the transformative power of design.
-
Challenges fuel my creativity and drive my work ethic. I believe every obstacle holds the seed of a breakthrough. My natural curiosity and relentless determination propel me to tackle problems head-on, finding innovative solutions along the way. Whether faced with a coding challenge or pushing the boundaries of design, I thrive on the thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of pushing my skills to the next level. Just like building this website, I embrace the learning journey as an essential part of my creative growth.

Craftsmanship
-
I believe in the elegance of purpose. A product that does its job flawlessly, without excessive bells and whistles, is a thing of beauty. Clean design cuts material waste and ensures your items have a timeless quality that outlives fads.
-
Why should a broken zipper mean the end of a perfectly good bag? Design with interchangeability in mind. A product becomes an evolving toolkit, reducing waste and fostering a stronger bond between user and object.
-
Cheap wears out fast. I choose materials that age with grace and construction techniques that withstand the test of time. A well-made product earns its place in your life, reducing the urge to replace it constantly.
Personalization
-
Let's cut waste at the source. I empower you with choices of colour, material and finishing from the get-go. This isn't just about style – it's about the item feeling uniquely yours from day one.
-
Facilitate post-purchase upgrades, decorative add-ons, and simple DIY adaptations. Think interchangeable bands, attachable accessories, or textured surfaces designed for personalization. Let users create an item as unique as they are.
-
The most sustainable products are the ones you'll use the most. Adaptability is key. Design for flexibility - let users shape the product to fit their evolving needs.
Accessible repairs
-
Clear manuals and online guides are your sustainability toolkit. Every fixed item is a win against needless waste. Provide resources that make repairs achievable - not intimidating.
-
Detailed repair guides and tutorials embody sustainable design principles. This knowledge transfer extends product lifespans and encourages a sense of ownership that combats disposability.
-
Access to skilled repair professionals or comprehensive online support reinforces a sustainable approach. It provides users with the resources to breathe new life into products, minimizing their contribution to material waste.
