Inspired by a basic shape and evolving it into a solution of functional form to create an all new band. The iconic pill-shape serves as the base of design and is applied in each aspect applying proportion to create the function. The pill peaks and valleys fosters ventilation and comfort for the user when worn. The sculpted of the nose serves as an integrated release point and slider safe. This pill shape motif is also consistently reflected in the band's details, including the metal hardware, creating a cohesive aesthetic true to the Whoop. The choice of silicone dove the design form by playing up its benefits of maintaining shape but flexing to the users needs and also having the opportunity for a strong CMF story.

2024
Eclipse S4 is the result of a singular focus: to create something that feels inevitable. Not just new, but right.Inspired by the quiet rhythm of a solar eclipse, we explored how light, proportion, and technology could coexist in harmony. The form is reduced, sculpted, and exact. Every detail is considered. Nothing is superfluous.At the center, the camera module sits in quiet symmetry. Surrounded by a polished ring, it recalls the elegance of celestial alignment. This is not decoration. It is purpose, expressed with clarity and restraint.Each surface and transition is refined to feel seamless in the hand. It feels familiar yet unexpected. As if it has always belonged. Eclipse S4 is not just a device. It is an experience shaped by intention. Where technology recedes, and design becomes part of you.

Minimal. Brutal. Purposeful.The Lite Smartwatch was designed as a study in clarity and function. Its bold geometry embraces a minimal and brutal aesthetic, where every detail has intent. Glyphs along the bezel introduce an educational layer, with symbols that relate to numbers in a way that is easy to understand.A precise split through the center creates a clear visual break for color, serving as a quiet form of communication. The mid-frame is ECG conductive, making the structure itself a functional element.This is function made visible. A watch that informs, teaches, and wears with quiet confidence.

Titan A | Ultra
WEARABLES
2024
Designing Titan A has been an exercise in restraint, precision, and purpose, a pursuit of balance between performance and luxury. This project is a reflection of my evolving relationship with industrial design, where every element is deliberate, and nothing is excessive.I’ve always been drawn to objects that feel inevitable, as if they were designed through a process of elimination rather than addition. Watches have long existed as tools, but the ones that endure, the ones that define an era, carry an unspoken emotional weight. Titan A is my interpretation of that idea: a timepiece that commands presence without demanding attention.

The interplay between material, form, and function was key. The ultra-clean ceramic-like finish, the high-contrast red aluminum bezel, the seamless integration of hardware, each detail was refined until it felt essential. I wanted the watch to feel like it had always existed, yet remain undeniably modern.This isn’t just a watch. It’s an artifact of precision, a sculptural tool designed to move with you, built to endure but never overpower. Titan A is more than an instrument of time, t’s a reflection of the wearer, a testament to refinement through purpose.
