Beyond the box

Experimental Packaging

Packaging is my comfort space, where I let my creativity run free. I often invent fictional brands so I can focus on craft and materials without limits. Starting with quick prototypes and moving to polished versions, I treat packaging less as function and more as an art piece. This practice keeps my craft active and lets me explore paper, wood, ceramics, and alternative formats.

Interaction
Design Approach

The interaction system emphasizes recognition over recall, using consistent iconography, color-coded functions, and large touch targets. Features such as routine-based prompts, visual feedback, and gentle gamification are designed to encourage engagement without creating distraction or pressure.

Rather than treating communication as a single action, MyVoice frames it as a series of small, supportive moments that can adapt to different contexts, moods, and abilities.

Context & Creative Approach

This body of work functions as a creative laboratory within my practice. Projects often begin with quick, low-stakes prototypes and evolve through iteration, refinement, and material testing.

By working across paper, wood, ceramics, and alternative formats, the series supports a hands-on approach to design grounded in physical making and exploration.

Process & Material Play

Each project emphasizes learning through making, using hands-on experimentation to test structure, texture, and assembly. Form emerges through material behavior rather than being fully resolved upfront.

This approach keeps the work grounded in physical interaction and intuition, positioning packaging as a site of exploration rather than optimization.

Designing for exploration

These projects reflect how I use packaging to stay connected to craft and curiosity. They are intentionally open-ended, prioritizing discovery over resolution.

The work feeds back into my broader design practice, sharpening my sensitivity to material, structure, and detail while reinforcing the value of experimentation as a form of research.
