As a product design engineer, I possess a strong fascination for the complexities involved in technical design and the overall functionality of products. My natural curiosity, combined with my artistic sensibilities, drives my pursuit of innovation, allowing me to create designs that harmoniously integrate form and function. My approach to design is grounded in user-centred design, connecting imagination with practicality. I believe that aesthetics are crucial in both design and engineering, guiding my creative process and leading to solutions that exhibit a refined finish. My educational journey at Swinburne University of Technology has been pivotal, providing me with the tools and experiences necessary to hone my skills and expand my creative horizons. Being part of such a practical course I have developed many skills and have had access to cutting edge technologies. A significant highlight of my academic experience was my capstone professional project, Tutela Via.
Tutela Via - meaning safety on the journey - is an innovative child safety restraint system designed specifically for V/Line trains, aimed at addressing a critical gap in child safety within public transportation. This initiative stemmed from rigorous research and extensive stakeholder engagement, emphasising the risks children face while travelling. By seamlessly integrating safety, functionality, and aesthetics, Tutela Via presents a practical solution for families, ensuring secure seating for children between the ages of two and seven.
The project highlights essential aspects of product design, including sustainability, modularity, and user-centricity, aligning with contemporary engineering principles and my commitment to creating products that are both meaningful and impactful. I am dedicated to further exploring trends such as inclusive design, materials innovation, and the incorporation of smart technologies to create future products that not only meet but exceed user expectations. Through my passion for product design, I aspire to enhance user experiences while addressing critical needs in our communities.
