About
I am an Industrial Designer with 8+ years of experience. I have a genuine passion for design, technology, and disruptive innovation, accompanied by an eagerness to make bold ideas practical & implementable through adopting conceptual/analytical and problem-solving skills. My deep curiosity drives me to develop the habits of exploring, learning, and discovering the connections between human behavior, science, art, and design.
- Worked on more than 400 design projects as a designer, developer, and team leader in different fields (Experiential, Industrial, Environmental, and Automotive design)
- Desire to develop, motivate, and mentor young design professionals led to teaching over 42 Design Sketching and 120 Digital Modeling courses between 2006 to 2014.
