I think of myself as an Industrial Designer and MatheMagician. I’m a designer that believes in the harmonic relationships between points in space. My Math theories connect simple and expressive surfaces to maximize the emotional feelings of any product.

Simplicity in the math creates perfect harmonic beauty.
