Achievements

• Led end-to-end industrial design for 6+ commercial kitchen appliances across global brands (Philips, Tefal, Beko, Arzum, Black & Decker).

• Optimized injection molding geometries to eliminate cosmetic defects, bridging minimalist design intent with complex mold mechanics.

• Directed tooling audits and manufacturer negotiations, successfully securing clean parting lines and structural integrity from floor facilities.

• Championed "minimum-screw" Design for Assembly (DFA), validating ergonomics and durability via Siemens NX and rapid FDM prototyping.

• Bridged design and production operations, finalizing technical specs and silk-print registrations directly with floor operators.

• Managed pilot manufacturing to lock in the "Golden Sample," driving real-world usability and QA performance testing.

• Spearheaded R&D, patent research, and competitive benchmarking while mentoring junior designers on large-scale product catalogs.
