for of
the Launch of Design Innovation)
An Installation to Celebrate the Launch of DIDI - Dubai Institute of Design Innovation and the inauguration of its first Batch of students on September of 2018. The Installation Draws Inspiration from the Local Culture of The United Arab Emirates. Some of the elements like the Weaving of Thread, and the pattern of SADUU were emphasised and modernised into an interactive format to create curiosity amongst installation visitors within TDM. The Design was composed of 3 main steel frames all of varying sizes in terms of activity and relevance to the circulation. The choice to use steel frames was to emphasise the thread weaving and SADUU pattern elements. One frame facing the entrance would house a 2m 3D Printer and would be in action to attract the flow of visitors onto the next Largest Frame which would house small chairs and would have live design talks and workshops. The third and final frame would be threaded live by an artist creating several different patterns with interweaving thread.

DIDI - KHAYYT
A Therapeutic Environment Academic
Project)
A project that would combat the rising threat of Mental health conditions within fast-paced metropolitan cities. Most Notably within the middle East, Dubai. Due to several regionally cultural, contexts the rise of mental health complications within the middle east have been amongst the highest in the world, specially with stress disorder cases and schizophrenia. The Design goal was to provide an easily access-able all inclusive retreat that would be part of a large park within the quiet suburbs of the city. The project would focus on mind and body within its architectural language. This would normalise the stigma around mental health by associating it with working out and spending quality family time which is not something unfamiliar to the region.

A customisable fragmented light
(Award FINALIST Project+Start-up)
A Light module design that came about in an effort to redefine the way we interact physically with a light source. The idea of a multi use all inclusive (PLAY+FUNCTION+AESTHETIC) was at the core of this Project. Later evolved into a premium product start-up that took a manufacturing hold in Seoul, south Korea at the end of 2018.
RAPID PROTOTYPING & GRID EXPERIMENTATION
The design is composed of a hexagonal 3 joint system to allow for controlled systematic yet organic sprawl.

A New Way to Break the ICE
(Award Winning+Start-up)
Social + is a small wearable device that designed to bring back human connection away from technology by using technology. The product uses a light signalling mechanism to indicate to the public the current status of the user and their willingness to socialise/network with the public. The product would be ideal in medium to large gathering of people where it would be in the user’s interest to network with as many people as possible as efficiently as possible with elevated confidence. The ideal launch program would be spread out over the course of 3 phases, ( The Professional environment, the leisure environment and lastly the public environment), the spread of these phases would allow the public to take notice and normalise the use of such a device as to not be intrusive to the normal standard of social interaction.

Freedom Given Back.. ...to those who need it
(Award FINALIST Project)
TITO Store is a reinvented Storage cabinet with maximised ergonomic-al comfort for people with disabilities and those who suffer from back and age related complications. The Cabinet takes up more unused volume in your average household, and is broken up into 3 compartments, 2 of which move up and down to reach the user’s comfortable ergonomic-al level as to require minimal movement from the user. The cabinet uses a sensor and small motors that move alongside a rail to unfold. Such a simple technological mechanism would allow for those targeted individuals to take back their freedom and live comfortably without the need of a helping hand at all times.
