Hi, I'm Herin. I'm an interaction designer and researcher specializing in people- and planet-centered design. I create products and experiences that foster deep connections through poetic, meaningful interactions. My process begins with empathy—exploring diverse approaches, prototyping, testing, and iterating to craft the most impactful solution. My expertise spans prototyping, designing intuitive interfaces, constructing tangible objects, and coding to create unique interactive experiences. In essence, my focus is on enriching user experiences by crafting sophisticated artifacts and systems that evoke deep emotions.
Previously, in London, I led projects shaping the future of shared mobility by leveraging AI and cutting-edge technologies. My work focused on creating seamless, innovative mobility experiences that redefine how people interact with transportation. I have also contributed to the SaaS domain, helping companies design intuitive digital products.
I find beauty in complex systems that follow simple yet elegant rules. I believe meaning, function, and aesthetics must come together to create truly impactful design experiences. By blending physical and digital elements, I strive to craft sensory-rich, immersive, and emotional interactions.
