Industrial Design
ABOUT ME
The ability to create homogenous and creative solutions to a design challenge is at the essence of the Industrial Designer work. Combining functionality, esthetics and pleasant user-experience is the result of a collaborating team of designers, engineers, scientists, users and a lot of other cycles. Every design is a tradeoff between different requirements, I believe that finding the right balance is a key to a successful design. The designer's responsibility is to be sensitive to these differentials while maintaining the design integrity.
As an Industrial Designer I aspire to take part in meaningful projects, to be a part of an heterogeneity environment and use my abilities in order to improve the well-being and livelihood of people.

I am a father of two wonderful girls, love hiking, rock climbing and cycling in all forms.
Razor wheelchair
Active Wheelchairs are manufactured today to custom fit the user's dimensions and needs.
While Carbon Fiber might be the best choice for the application due to the high strength to weight ratio and stiffness, It is rarely being used because of the manufacturing methods of CF frames that usually include expensive molds and the fact that in this method it is not possible to custom fit the frame.
Custom Carbon-fiber wheelchair, designed from CF tubes and Titanium DMLS joints.
The model is designed in a parametric CAD software which allows data-driven modifications for each product and local manufacturing of the DMLS Joints.
Work in progress. Patent pending.
Formula 1000 racing car
Formula 1000 is an open wheel class of Formula car racing by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) where a 1000 cc motorcycle engine is used to power a single seat, open wheel race car with full racing aerodynamics and suspension

Trolley1
S-Cargo was my graduation project in the ID department at Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, Israel.
S-Cargo won the highest grade for graduation project that year.
First place in "Sikun Vebinui" green innovation design competition.
DR.Polonsky design award for excellence 2012 .
Top ten academic projects for 2012 by SolidWorks Israel.

Trolley2
TReGo is the commercial successor of S-Cargo. TReGo transform any bicycles into a multiple purpose Tricycles, simply by replacing the front wheel.
TReGo can have different “add-ons” such as rucksack, child-seat, racks, boxs..
TReGo function as a stand alone cart or trolley, without the bicycles.
Patent pending.

Tensile Lamp
Lightning object based on a Tensile structure, The lamp can be positioned in a variety of postures since the structure is connected together by the electric cable and not by joints.
A balance between the reflector and a Tungsten weight as well as the friction plays a crucial part keeping the structure balanced in different postures.
Technical skills
Processing hand sketches into a presentation-quality renders helps in creating a strong design language and upgrade the design in general, It is a fast and efficient way to compare form and color alternatives.
The ability to successfully convert 2D design into a 3D model allows the designer to work on details, solve problems, communicate with engineers, designers and clients, analyze the model and prepare the parts for manufacturing.
The challenge for the designer is to do all of the above while keeping the integrity of the initial design on the 3D model.
