Form and function in nature are determined by the interaction of intrinsic with extrinsic forces, a design should also be a reflection of interaction between social, economical and technological elements.

I am a follower of technology, like to play with materials, learn from nature and love working across disciplines.

A part designer, part technologist and one part humanist, I aspire to design products that stimulate souls and minds of the user by employing hybrid thinking in my designs.
