Hello. I'm Sophie.
I am an industrial designer who likes to work through materials, form, and the subtle systems that shape how people interact with objects and spaces. My work blends furniture exploration, mixed-material prototyping, and product development with a digital skill set that helps me communicate ideas through UX flows, clear UI, and thoughtful visual identity systems.
​
My background includes early hardware development at Rendyr, where I helped bring a portable laser cutter from prototype to production, and product development at RH, where I supported dozens of lighting collections through form studies, materials evaluation, and manufacturable detailing. I also work with startups to shape their digital presence and product storytelling through design systems and responsive layouts.
​
I sketch, prototype, and build to understand problems. I use Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and hands-on shop processes like CNC routing, laser cutting, 3D printing, textile work, and leather craft to explore how ideas behave in the real world. I like when design feels clear and intentional. A joint that fits cleanly, a layout that guides the eye, a material choice that feels honest.
​
My goal is to create experiences that feel human and grounded, connecting usefulness, beauty, and impact across both physical and digital touchpoints.
