Physical Design + Manufacturing
I'm passionate about how people interact with shape.
My work explores Tactile Interaction, Affordance, Ergonomics,
and Accessibility Research for BLV (Blind and Low-Vision) users.
Even without words, genuine affordance can convey our ideas.

Tactile Aids on Educational 3D-Printing Models
Stanford Mechanical Engineering: Stanford SHAPE Lab
Developing 3D-printable tactile aids embedded directly into multi‑part models, improving non‑visual assembly instruction and spatial understanding for blind and low‑vision (BLV) users. Conducted co‑design sessions with BLV users to iterate prototypes, leading to a first-author publication.
First-Author Paper accepted to CHI 2025 LBW.
Sensory Maze for Magical Bridge Playground
Collaboration with Magical Bridge Foundation
Designed Sensory Maze for kids with autism in Magical Bridge Playground, inclusive place for children with all abilities.
Through numbers of user testing with kids, explored various texture with 3D-printing, tested different sensory features—high visual contrast, rotational motion, sound effect, etc.
Ergonomic Design: Ceramic Rib
Engineered a new ergonomic form by translating user research and demographic data into a refined Fusion 360 model, progressing from initial sketches and physical foam prototypes.
Optimized the design for comfort and efficiency by applying the NASA-TLX framework, resulting in a quantifiable reduction in user stress and physical strain.

Stream: Direction Guide Handrail
Intuitive direction guide through tactile pattern, inspired by fluid mechanics to make stair handrail accessible for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) users.
Coin Sorting Machine
Combining laser-cutting and 3D-printing, designed the system so that each coin come out and sorted one by one. My first practice for digital fabrication.

My Morning Routine: Desk Organizer)
Utilized water-jet cutting, slip-roller, bending, rivets, radius cutter, lathe, drilling mill, and welding, designed intuitive desk organizer. Used spring plungers for tactile feedback.
