SOPHIE DUKES
Everything I make starts with a pain point and ends with someone feeling a little more connected, inspired, or cared for. To the person using it, the object, the screen, and the box it ships in are one experience, so I don't draw a line between hardware and software.
HARDWARE · PACKAGING · WEB
Rendyr
I treated building the Optic as a UX problem of its own. Assembly went from 30+ hours to under 15, across 300+ units, and I designed the unboxing that followed.
HARDWARE · INTERFACE
Amity
Tactile game pieces plus built-in video calling, so time with family feels like being together, not a check-in. Gold, European Product Design Award.
HARDWARE · ERGONOMICS
OXO Cane
A cane that reads as a personal object instead of medical equipment, with a grip and foot shaped by the complaints users described.
FURNITURE
Almaz
One folded sheet-metal form where seat and base read as a single piece, with a modular leg system for fast, repeatable builds.
APP · BRAND
Weeknd
Self-initiated concept, 2025. I redesigned a friend's events app to lower the barrier to real-life connection and spark spontaneity.
