About me

I am passionate about designing tangible products, and wish to make big changes by solving small problems with the simplest products. I persevere to design products in a such a way that form naturally follows function and invokes the user's natural intuition on usage. Having learnt the importance of good opportunity identification, I am always in the lookout for voids that can be filled with innovation! At CPDM, I am currently equipping myself with the design, technical and entrepreneurship acumen required to launch well-targeted, marketable, problem-solving, successful products.
