Profile: https://flows.cv/renvardi

I’m an Industrial Designer trained at Pratt Institute, with a minor in Sustainability, designing physical products and environments that support health, wellness, and everyday living.

My work spans wearables, softgoods, homegoods, furniture, and interiors, with a strong emphasis on human-centered design, materiality, and form that serves function. I’ve worked across fitness and wellness contexts, where comfort, durability, and embodied user experience are critical.

I also bring UX experience from recent freelance work, which strengthens my approach to physical design — from early research and systems thinking to clear communication across engineering and business teams. I see digital as a complement to physical form, not a replacement for it.

I’m currently seeking full-time industrial / product design roles focused on wearables, home, or interior products, especially in teams that value craft, sustainability, and thoughtful user experience.

📐 Tools: SolidWorks / Rhino / KeyShot / Adobe CC / Figma
