Intuitive Design Experiences
PhD Research / Aalto University, Finland
In this project, I propose an integrated design experience where designers can simultaneously utilize their physical and digital skills and bridge the gap between digital and physical design ideation processes.
Early sketches of the design workflow show a deformed paper used for alternating between physical and digital ideation.

Through the exploration of paper folding techniques, I was able to create 42 unique and inspiring conceptual artifacts.



Several paper artifacts have been digitized using a volumetric 3D scanner.

The intuitive design experience seamlessly integrates technology with conventional design methods, producing exceptional results.


The digital models were ultimately converted into tangible plywood prototypes with precision and accuracy.
