About

Product Design Engineer with experience across CAD development, prototyping, electromechanical integration, material exploration and human-centred product systems. Skilled in translating complex requirements into manufacturable prototypes through SolidWorks, DFMA, testing and iterative development. My work spans medical-device development, sensor-integrated systems, wearable product concepts and public-facing technical installations, with a strong interest in physical product development, industrial design, prototyping, design for manufacture and bringing early ideas into buildable product solutions.

Experience

Freelance R&D Design Engineer SMASHfestUK · Freelance May 2026 – Present 1 mos London, England, United Kingdom • Designed and tested physical interaction systems for 40+ participants, working across prototype development, sensor integration, deployment testing and iterative improvement.

• Co-developed Community-Connected Planters, a sensor-integrated public installation in collaboration with One Kilburn, deploying 8 air-quality devices through CAD development, physical prototyping, sensor integration and field testing.

• Developed portable immersive systems, including Beyond the Flooded Booth and Wildfire, translating complex technical and climate-science concepts into deployable physical installations.

• Contributed to funded public engagement projects supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering, British Science Association and STFC.
Product Design Engineer redLoop · Internship Sep 2023 – Sep 2024 1 yrs London, England, United Kingdom I collaborated on a UK research and innovation project derivated from Pneumacrit and
CRADL, developing a EIT real-time lung image for newborns, where I helped design the
commercial aspect of the technology. My focus was on enhancing the user experience for
microelectronic wearables by applying user research, sustainability principles, and Design
for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) techniques. I followed design processes to ensure
compliance with standards, quality requirements, and risk assessment procedures. We
conducted validation tests to optimise usability, manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and
aesthetics. In this project, I explored and utilised various materials, including EMI shielding,
plastics, metals, and 3D printing techniques.
