I design to uncover the capabilities of the human body through personal and movement mastery. Through my journey, I developed a deep understanding of human-centered design and now use digital manufacturing to create products that support the body to move freely.

I seek to empower the body through product design. I explore the depths of human capability by solving problems with biomimetic solutions—drawing inspiration from anatomy, movement, and nature’s engineering. Through human-centered design, I strive to create products that support, enhance, and restore the body’s full potential.
sketch to 3D Print
ACTION FIGURE CREATION
Using Vizcom’s AI tools, I trained a custom model on vinyl toy aesthetics to generate detailed design variations from a base sketch. Leveraging Vizcom’s Sketch to 3D feature, I seamlessly translated concepts into 3D models and printed physical prototypes—streamlining the entire workflow from sketch to object.​​
I extended this workflow to 3D-printed footwear, combining AI-driven sketches with manual refinements for fit, lasting, and wall thickness. The result: a fully customized, wearable shoe—sketched by you, worn by you.​

footPRINT 3D
FootPrint starts with a 3D foot scan via Polycam, evolving from manual modeling to a Grasshopper algorithm for fully customized fit. Its 4.8 mm outsole features integrated air pockets, delivering impact dampening and proprioceptive feedback—supporting natural movement without sacrificing ground feel.
THE NEOmoc
Archeological Footwear Meets Modern Technology
This project reimagines ancient footwear forms using parametric design and 3D printing. I developed a seamless single-surface pattern using advanced panelization tools, blending historical inspiration with modern fabrication to bridge past and future in a single, continuous design.
Innovative Footwear Technology that supports the arch, not replace it

Tendon rethinks support through a biomimetic lens, mimicking the foot’s natural tendon network to promote strength without relying on rigid arch support. By integrating synthetic tendons along the exterior, the design encourages muscle engagement and reinforces natural movement. This concept blends anatomical insight with advanced fabrication to support the foot without compromising its function.
This project leverages Hyperganic’s validated lattice library and simulation tools to create performance-optimized footwear. Algorithmic modeling enabled rapid iteration / validation and surpassing conventional design constraints.

Rope Flow
Rope Flow Metronome
This functional training tool restores rotational movement to enhance mobility, coordination, and body awareness. Printed on a five-toolhead FDM printer, it features embedded chain and internal weights—added mid-print without post-processing—for tactile feedback and performance challenge.
Nike Air - Reinvisioned
3D-Printed Airbag Concept
This project reimagines Nike’s airbag technology through 3D printing, using varied wall thicknesses and infill patterns to balance performance and aesthetics. Transparent materials reveal internal structures as design elements—embracing a philosophy of honest, expressive construction.
Biomorpher Case Study — Contour Projection
Dynamic Form Exploration
This project uses Biomorpher in Rhino to generate organic patterns by projecting contour lines onto a base form. Through evolutionary algorithms and a gene pool, I created structural variations—an approach I plan to extend to shoe lasts for exploring volumetric design possibilities with Dendro.
Mobile Phone Scanning for 3D Printing
Handstand Grips & Waterbottle Dog Bowl
PalmPrint
PalmPrint replaces standard grips with custom 3D-printed designs using flexible TPU and durable PLA. By scanning handstand impressions, I created grips tailored to each hand’s unique contours—enhancing contact, comfort, and performance through biomechanical precision and additive manufacturing.
