Product Designer

Started working on this project in 2015 right after my thesis project which was on Sounds. Researching the presence of sounds in specific spaces and how these places change when sounds around them change. Sounds are lost in time, with only people who experienced it could recall them. The purpose was to make this intangible experience into something tangible that could be revisited at some point in time.
