About

I am an industrial designer fuelled by a passion for crafting innovative solutions that blend functionality and aesthetics. With a degree in Industrial Design from UNSW and real-world work I have honed my skills through hands-on experience, Prototyping and user-centred design. For as long as I can remember I have had a deep curiosity in how things are made and how we as humans interact and perceive them. The opportunity to explore and create unconventional designs excites me. Check out my portfolio kenthcdesigns.squarespace.com
