Model to Reality
As an architect who transitioned into a UX/Product Designer, I’ve always embraced the journey from model to reality. Every project begins with a deep understanding of user needs, followed by creating zoning, circulation, and spatial planning. We start with detailed floor plans, visualizing how the space will come to life. Just as in digital design, we build scale models akin to prototypes and develop 3D models that function as high-fidelity mockups, refining every detail. The execution phase involves coordinating with various contractors, much like collaborating with developers, until the project is brought to life, ensuring every element aligns seamlessly with the initial vision.
Student Innovation Center
During my graduate years at Iowa State University, I had the chance to explore my creative side at the Student Innovation Center, where I dived into the world of carpentry tools, 3D printing, and prototype crafting. Among the projects I brought to life, two stood out as my favorites: an embroidered dog patch that breathed new life into old clothes and a uniquely designed pen stand I crafted as a heartfelt gift for my friends. These experiences sparked a passion for blending artistry with hands-on craftsmanship..
