I’m Joe, a designer with a background in industrial and product design who has also built skills in UI/UX and interactive design. I’m passionate about tech and electronics and love working hands-on in the workshop, especially with prototyping and woodworking. For me, design is about keeping things fun, fresh, and different while always learning and refining my craft.
