I design for the people a brief leaves out — the nurse who learned the pump from someone else, the traveller with both hands full, the friend who starts a whole new group to plan one evening. Mostly by watching how they already work, then fixing the thing that makes them work around it.

Selected work

Winner · Yellow Slice
LaneProduct design · 6 weeks

People were making whole duplicate groups just to have one side conversation. Lane keeps it inside WhatsApp.

Field research
Find EasyService design · 4 weeks

Blind travellers have both hands full before the station even starts. So the phone was never the answer.

Everyone designs for the craft community. The storyteller was the one losing the most.

The PICU infusion pump study, opening pageAbstract accepted · HWWE 2026
PICU infusion pumpsHuman factors · 3 weeks

Nurses use a fraction of the pump and learn the rest from each other. I redesigned it around how they already work.

Hand-bent bamboo instead of the easier straight-joinery route. A full-scale chair people actually sit in.

Bodystorming

Campus to Peenya metro and back in a wheelchair. A simulation, not research with wheelchair users. The film was shown at NID's convocation.

My own year as a solo resource game, balanced by simulating thousands of bot-played rounds.

Field audit

HGSUA 2021 · 3 weeks · Trio

Space Audit

Open sightlines, three entrances, and a 36 cm seat where the standard says 45. Access existed. Use didn't.

Used daily

Everywhere I go, I notice who a thing won't work for. So here is my own stuff, audited. Pick anything.

Three of these make a sound. Each one also says what it is in text.

Pick an object. Each one gets the same three questions: who it works for, who it fails, and what I'd change.

Side B · Off the recordPick one

Hard deadlines, soft pressure.

I am looking for an internship where the research actually reaches the build. If that sounds like your team, say hello.
