Industrial and product design. I work across a wide range of sectors—from projects in the automotive industry, transport design, electronics, and furniture to graphic and packaging design. Creativity combined with a passion for forms, materials, and, above all, everything in motion. Whether on the road or off-road, on rails, on water, or in the air!

Description	The design process for this special-purpose vehicle began with conceptual sketches, followed by 3D modeling and the creation of high-quality visualizations. Building a prototype allowed for the real-world validation of all design elements. Minimizing the use of plastic components on the cabin exterior—while constructing the frame exclusively from standardized profiles—presented a significant challenge. Nevertheless, the design team successfully maximized the potential of these limited resources, resulting in highly attractive vehicles characterized by clean lines, smooth surfaces, and sharp edges. Overall, the vehicles are compact and modern; notably, they possess a distinct "facial expression." I identified the vehicle's front grille as the key design element—the foundation upon which the rest of the design is built. The grille features a unique, unmistakable look, developed through numerous sketches, form modeling, and extensive refinements. It consists of three primary components: the outer "pillars" connect to the side body panels, carrying the contours and color scheme from the sides of the cabin to the front. The central section is distinguished by a contrasting color—such as black or white. These three parts are separated by pronounced grooves formed by facets, designed so that the way light hits them further accentuates the boundaries between the sections. These dividing lines rise toward the windshield, forming a bold "V" shape, while at the bottom, they angle inward
