WHERE TO NEXT?
FIGHTING OFF MOSQUITOESDESIGN IS CREATING AND BRINGING TO LIFE NEW PRODUCTS
1 MONTH PERSONAL PROJECT - MAR ‘15
REPELLENT - RELIEF
Everyone has the tools to fight off mosquitoes but never actually uses them because they are greasy, smelly, hard to
apply and to carry around with you, and only temporary.
USER INSIGHTS
TARGETING DETAILS
The concept of merging repellent and relief together came very quickly, from that point on ideation was mostly about
figuring out details on the product to make it coherent.
POST-IT IDEATION
FOAM MODEL TESTING
Working in the workshop and testing various different shapes allowed me to find and refine a shape that fits in the user’s
hands comfortably no matter how the product is held.
SHAPE REFINEMENT
DETAIL INSPIRATION
MOOBOARD
TWO IN ONE: 1 REPEL - 2 RELIEF
FINAL PRODUCT
QUICK, EASY, NO WASTE
Thanks to a mesh membrane that lets the insect repelling solution slowly seep through, the user can now protect himself
quickly, easily and without any wastage.
INSECT REPELLENT
THERMOLABILE REACTION
The itching sensation of a mosquito bite can be stopped by applying heat to it thanks to a UV light, switched on when the
user touches both metal plates.
ITCH RELIEF
REFILL THE TANK OR CHANGE THE BATTERIES
A strap on the product makes it easily to find and pull out of any bag. The small badge on the strap is meant to be used as a screwdriver to open the repellent tank or the battery door.
REFILL AND RECHARGE
SALEWA ROCK CLIMBING SHOEDESIGN IS GENERATING NEW IDEAS IN EXISTING PRODUCTS
3 WEEK PERSONAL PROJECT - SEP 2013
PERFECT TO CLIMB, BUT TERRIBLE TO REST
Rock climbing shoes cramp your feet up, allowing you to better hook and hold the wall, a contradicting duality, as they
are extremely painful when belaying or resting.
USER INSIGHTS
STRAP AROUND THE FOOT FOR BETTER CONTROL
Inspired by medical strapping, the straps go around the foot,interacting with the sole rather than just the upper in classic
shoes, allowing a better and wider control of the shoe.
CONCEPT DETAIL
FIT SALEWA’S DESIGN LANGUAGE
The final shape for the shoe was mainly dictated by where the straps should be for the best efficiency, and how I wanted
the user to interact with them.

PRODUCT DETAIL
PRODUCTIVE OFFICE SPACE FOR AKGDESIGN IS TO HAVE A VISION AND BUILDING A PROCESS TO LEAD YOUR TEAM TO IT
4 MONTH TEAM PROJECT - OCT 2015/JAN 2016
PRODUCTIVE OFFICE SPACE
The brief that was given to us by AKG was to imagine a new typology of audio products for working environments, helping
professionals be more focused and effective.
THE BRIEF
LEADING AND MANAGING A TEAM
I had the chance to co-lead a team with my good friend Abbas. We had to create a vision a process for the project as well as
manage three 3rd year students eager to learn.
THE TEAM
THE UNDERRATED IMPORTANCE OF SOUND
The first step of our analysis phase was to look into what sounds are and how they work. During our research we realized how much sound is around us but how little attention we give it.
AUDIO AND SOUNDS
A DELICATE BALANCE OF SPACE, LIGHTS AND SOUNDS
We looked into what being productive means, but more importantly what factors may influence one’s productivity
and how they intricately influence each other.
WHAT IS PRODUCTIVITY
UNDERSTANDING WHO WE ARE DESIGNING FOR
We looked at different office spaces in order to better understand how people interact and function in them. We decided to work on three different spaces, 1, 5 and 18 people.
OFFICE SPACES
ETHNOGRAPHY RESEARCH
We profiled a wide group of people looking for different job experiences, and personalities. We interviewed 20 candidates
about music, their work environment and productivity.
20 USER INTERVIEWS
EASY TO RELATE TO YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
We decided to translate the insights we pulled out of the interviews into cartoons, helping keep the project simple and
understandable, we used these for our ideation phase.
WORK SITUATIONS
Music therapy
Time division Cut the cord
Mood control
NEW IDEAS, SMART CONCEPTS
We used the 90+ situations and combined them with three specific types of offices, creating three final concepts: a head-phone amp, an interactive projector and a personal assistant.
CREATIVITY SESSION
THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE
P14 helps manage your time with the renowned pomodoro technique, organizing and dividing your day into work periods
of 25 minutes, allowing to achieve more in less time.

listening experiences through various different modes.

ADAPTABLE TRAVEL SHOEDESIGN IS BEING PART OF A TEAM5 MONTH TEAM PROJECT - SEP 2013/JAN 2014
A SHOE CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR TRIP
We are constantly travelling, always adapting to our environment. Shoes mix performance, aesthetics, and comfort,
according to what you do and where you go.
TRAVELLING & SHOES
WHAT THEY NEED, WHAT THEY WANT
We created and analysed 15+ potential user profiles, each travelling for a different purpose, to a different place in order
to better understand their behaviour.
USER OPPORTUNITIES
YOUNG, DYNAMIC AND DRIVEN
We built a 2 day scenario around our user’s business trip to better understand his needs and wants, in terms of functionality
and perception.
BUSINESS ROUTINE
QUICK IDEATION
We organized quick creativity sessions around different shoe parts and axis that linked back to our target and brief. This
allowed us to come up with a large number of ideas.
POST-IT SESSIONS
DETAILED CONCEPTS
By mixing post-its together, we created concepts around five major axis, answering our user’s precise problems, needs and
wants. These are the concepts I came up with.
A4 SKETCHES
DUAL CORE
Our final shoe is cut into two parts, the front is formal and elegant, while the back is active and comfortable, hence
creating a formal yet sportable shoe.
FINAL PROPOSITION
CLICK PLAY!
After writing the storyboard, I was responsible to shoot and edit a 2min video that retraced our user’s day, in order to properly explain our shoe, and how it was meant to be worn.
USER SCENARIO
A SUPER-TECHNICAL FORMAL SHOE
Using the paradox between the two cores of the shoe as our key styling element, we merged a strong urban elegance to a
dynamic shape, accentuated by sporty details.
DESIGN LANGUAGE
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FIRST IMPRESSION
The cut on the packaging was aligned to the ones on the shoe for a better display but also to reflect the product’s design
values, creating a global experience for the customer.
GLOBAL EXPERIENCE
NIKE BRANDING
Because this is a formal shoe, we decided to drop off the Nike swoosh, replacing it with a unique and subtler graphic tdesign,
stamped onto the sole when purchasing.
VISUAL IDENTITY
SOCIAL NETWORK FOR DESIGNERSDESIGN IS CREATING A GLOBAL EXPERIENCE FOR THE USERS
MASTERCLASS PERSONAL PROJECT - 1 WEEK - APR 2015
STUDENTS, ALUMNI, FACULTY
We all use various different social medias to connect with each other. However, none of them are properly suited for a school,
to help each other out and keep in contact with alumni.
A SECOND FAMILY
BASIC ARCHITECTURE
This crucial step in a UI/UX design allows to map out the functions and features of the app. This helps understanding how things will work together and guide the rest of the design.
MENU TREE
FROM IDEATION TO FINAL SCREENS
I use quick and rough sketches to ideate on the user interaction and experience. Wireframes allow me to rapidly validate the
graphic design before starting the final renders.
UI/UX PROCESS
SORRY, WORK IN PROGRESS...
Design News: keep track of what is new in the design world, read, and share articles with the rest of the community.
Design Trail: see where others work or have worked around the world, and contact them for some insight.
ISD Forum: ask for help, organize events, discuss trending design topics, find job opportunities and much more.
UPCOMING FEATURES
BEYOND DESIGNDESIGN IS A DISCIPLINE YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING
6 MONTH INTERNSHIP IN A DESIGN CONSULTANCY
UNDERSTANDING THE USER IS HALF THE WORK DONE
Focus groups, interviews, observing behaviors, I had the chance to take part in multiple user analysis projects or research
phases, further developing my ethnography skills.
ETHNOGRAPHY
ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND TOOLS
Sketching in Beyond was only done on cintiq, this gave me the opportunity to create a new skill set, combining this new technique to my inspiration process boosted my creativity.
SKETCH AND STYLING
PRODUCTS ARE PHYSICAL, NOT DIGITAL
One of the best way to validate concepts are models, no matter the scale or level of detail. I also realized during my internship
how important it can be for a client’s understanding.
FOAM-CORE MODELS
BUILDING NEW SKILLS
During my internship, I greatly improved my 3D modeling skills, refined my understanding of surfaces. I got to play around with 3D printing, both validating and correcting my designs.
