SELECTED PROJECTS
To highlight my core expertise, these projects are showcased in their « pure structural form. » While this « naked » aesthetic focuses on architectural integrity, I believe the final product’s beauty stems from the synergy between my structural foundations and the branding of the graphic teams. This approach allows me to demonstrate the structural integrity I deliver while strictly respecting the creative ownership of my collaborators—I invite you to follow the included links to see the final products as they appear in the market.
— Due to the bespoke and confidential nature of my work with global heritage brands, only a selected preview is showcased here. Comprehensive portfolios tailored to your sector are available upon request —
Make Your Mark | Sourglass Concept
A true game changer for the packaging industry—exploring fluid geometry and disruptive pouring mechanics to redefine the beer drinking ritual. Developed in collaboration with Lewis Moberly and unveiled by Kurz at Luxe Pack Monaco, this structural design-led project merges artistic vision with high-end finishing to challenge traditional consumption conventions. The result pushes the boundaries of what is possible in luxury vessel engineering, transforming a functional object into a sophisticated sensory experience.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization & Specification.
Collaborative Partner: Lewis Moberly.
Winsor & Newton | Fineliners Packaging
A masterclass in structural reduction—stripping away the superfluous to celebrate the instrument. Developed for Lewis Moberly through intuitive sketching and physical mockups, this design prioritizes a minimal, single component waste architecture, eliminating adhesives and excess material. The result is a sleek, self-supporting frame that transitions seamlessly from a protective pack to an elegant desktop display.
Scope: Ideation, Structural Concept & Mockup Making.
Collaborative Partner: Lewis Moberly.
Alivaria | Heritage Glass Structure
A structural tribute to the historic Alivaria brewery, translating the industrial soul of the site into a premium glass silhouette. The design features a distinctive embossed brick pattern at the base—a subtle architectural reference that presented significant technical challenges in glass molding and release. This project required high-precision CAD engineering to balance the intricate textured detail with industrial high-speed production requirements, resulting in a tactile, grounded bottle that honors the brand’s 19th-century foundations.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization & Specification.
Project conducted at: Holmes & Marchant.
MitoQ | Pill Bottle & Packaging
A holistic structural redesign merging medical precision with premium wellness aesthetics. Responsible for the entire development process, I bridged the gap between market analysis and industrial reality, working in close synergy with the graphic team. This project features a bespoke vessel and secondary packaging engineered for both ergonomic ritual and global manufacturing scalability, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to shelf.
Scope: Market Analysis, Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization, Specification & Supplier Sourcing.
Collaborative Partner: Born Ugly.
Nude Vodka | Himalayan Spirituous Bottle
A structural tribute to the brand’s Nepalese origins—subtly reinterpreting the geometry of traditional prayer wheels. Designed for the country’s first rice-based vodka, the bottle features a clean, rotating silhouette that allows light to refract through the embossed glass messaging. This project balances ultra-modernity with a spiritual heritage, using technical precision in CAD and specification to create a high-end, tactile experience that celebrates Himalayan purity.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization & Specification.
Collaborative Partner: Nude Brand Creation.
Bombay Sapphire | Illuminating Gift Box
A pioneering fusion of structural packaging and electroluminescent technology. This project pushed the boundaries of cardboard engineering, requiring research into innovative electronic integration and specialized sourcing. Developed with Karl Knauer, the design features a seamless interaction between light and structure, creating a multisensory experience that redefines the gift box.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, Supplier Sourcing, Visualization & Animation.
Project conducted at: Webb deWlam.
Khukri XXX Rum | Brand Portfolio Redesign
The modern evolution of Nepal’s premier spiced rum. A comprehensive structural redesign of the core Khukri Rum range, balancing centuries of cultural heritage with contemporary premium aesthetics. The new glass vessels feature a bold, ergonomic architecture designed to improve shelf presence and handling while maintaining the brand’s iconic rugged soul. Every curve and detail was engineered to ensure global distribution scalability without losing the artisanal feel of its Nepalese roots.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization & Specification.
Collaborative Partner: Nude Brand Creation.
Khukri Coronation | Prestige Structural Design
A sculptural tribute to Nepalese heritage. The « Coronation » edition is a high-end structural feat—an iconic, knife-shaped vessel that pushes the boundaries of glass molding. This project involved the development of a complex, asymmetrical bottle inspired by the traditional Khukri blade, integrated into a bespoke structural stand and premium presentation box. The challenge lay in merging ceremonial storytelling with technical precision, creating a disruptive centerpiece that serves as both a luxury spirit and a cultural artifact.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization & Specification.
Collaborative Partner: Nude Brand Creation.
Seasn Bitters | Ritual Tasting Spoons
A bespoke duo of sensory tools designed for professional brand advocacy. These tasting spoons—one polished, one frosted—were engineered as a tactile extension of the brand’s nature-inspired visual identity. Attached to a signature keyring for portability, the organic silhouettes allow brand ambassadors to present the bitters to bartenders through a refined, consistent ritual. This project merges ergonomic CAD modeling with specialized finish specifications to translate graphic poetry into a functional metallic object.
Scope: Structural Concept, Development, CAD Modeling, Visualization & Specification.
