our goal...
Get homeowners and restoration professionals to trust and adopt a digital restoration tool as their primary resource, by making historical property insights and repair planning as seamless and reliable as modern home management.
My Role
My role centered on shaping the physical expression of the product within
a connected UX ecosystem.
As the Physical Product Designer, I developed detailed 3D models, produced high-fidelity renders, built functional prototypes, and ensured the physical design aligned
seamlessly with the digital experience.
Exploration
Rapid sketches allowed me to experiment with proportions and functionality in a low-fidelity format. This process clarified key design decisions and guided the transition into CAD development.
Modeling
Using CAD software, I translated refined sketches into precise 3D models to explore structure and functionality. This stage allowed for detailed adjustments to proportions, assembly, and manufacturability.
Renders
High-quality renders were created to visualize materials, lighting, and form before production. These visuals helped communicate design intent and ensure consistency across the physical and digital experience.
ERGONOMIC GRIP
FOLDABLE LEGS
Designed for comfortable and secure handling, with non-slip materials ensuring a firm grip while transporting
Enhances portability and stability while maintaining a compact frame.
SCAN
Utilizes LiDAR to capture detailed room scans, projecting historical layouts onto walls while analyzing the best restoration approach.
PLAN
Generate a renovation roadmap sourcing through optimized resources, guides, and materials.
Evaluate the space and its needs, ensuring a well-informed renovation process from start to finish.
ASSESS

Prototype
We carefully developed and refined detailed user scenarios to fully understand the writing journey. These insights were translated into thoughtfully crafted wireframes that formed the foundation for our low-fidelity frame testing and informed key design decisions.
UX Integration
The physical product was designed to align seamlessly with the digital platform, ensuring a unified user experience across both environments. Form, interaction, and feedback were refined to complement the system’s digital workflows.
