ABOUT
INTRO
I’m a designer, engineer, and creative strategist working at the intersection of technical and artistic disciplines. My work spans digital experiences, physical products, and speculative design—blurring boundaries to shape ideas that resonate.
With a background in both engineering and design, I balance logic and intuition to craft work that challenges expectations while maintaining elegance and precision.

Creative Direction & Design
From branding to interactive experiences, I shape visual identities, digital interfaces, and physical designs that feel effortless yet intentional. Whether crafting a sleek website, an elegant print piece, or an immersive experience, my approach blends precision, clarity, and aesthetic impact.

Strategy & Storytelling
Good design is more than just visuals—it’s about narrative, positioning, and meaning. I help businesses and individuals define their voice, clarify their vision, and craft compelling stories that resonate with their audience. Whether through brand strategy, concept development, or creative consulting, I turn abstract ideas into tangible, engaging narratives.

Research & Exploration
At the intersection of design and engineering, I explore new materials, processes, and fabrication techniques to push the boundaries of what’s possible. From experimental prototypes to innovative material applications, I use hands-on research to bridge the gap between concept and execution.

Teaching & Speaking
I share my knowledge and approach through lecturing, workshops, and public speaking. As a visiting tutor at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College, I guide the next generation of designers in combining creativity with technical precision. I also run independent workshops, helping teams and individuals think like designers and unlock new ways of solving problems.

WORKS
STUDIO
I am the founder of HAUS OF ZAZA, a creative practice that transforms bold ideas into refined outcomes since 2023. Let’s make something unexpected together!
Curiosity is our compass. The best ideas come from unexpected collisions—between disciplines, cultures, and perspectives.
PRACTICE
Inspired by drag performance, DRAG DESIGN is a subversive design philosophy that breaks expectations through unexpected juxtapositions of form, materiality, and context.
Rooted in my master’s thesis at the Royal College of Art (Distinction) and developed through ongoing practice, drag design is an artistic approach—one that thrives on contradiction, theatricality, and tension to reveal new possibilities in design.
