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.
