Design is rewarding. There is nothing quite like seeing the look of joy on people’s faces, knowing that what I have created may have made a heartfelt impact on their lives. This gives me motivation to create better designs, to help more people.

Hearing Fishes

Yes, you can now hear fishes! A series of ornaments designed to translate the movements of fishes into a surround soundscape. This project enables the visually impaired to appreciate the part of nature inaccessible to them before, creating opportunities for new experiences. With Hearing Fishes, the VI can now accurately identify the activities within a tank independently!

Oura

Kaleidoscopes duplicate fragments and form new entireties. Oura vases are designed to mimic this idea. The plates are designed to complement each other. When adjacent, they appear grey, and when overlapped, they burst into colour. This highlights the beauty of kaleidoscopes, which fragment a whole to create a new entirety.

Ibeyi

When first encountering Tamila and Tamika, one might not immediately notice that there is one key ingredient that is shared by the two, vetiver oil. This subtle yet unwavering connection is the inspiration for the concept IBEYI, which means twins in an African language. Inseparable by a golden bond of kinship, the twin’s intangible chemistry is symbolized by the magnetic clamps that hold Ibeyi together while the understated details celebrates their differences.
