About me

Designer, Maker, Engineer

bora-about

Hi, I'm Bora — an industrial designer who loves working across disciplines, combining digital tools with hands-on fabrication.

I specialize in 3D-printed products and functional prototypes, using CFD simulations and parametric modeling to develop designs that perform in the real world while staying visually refined.

My work sits at the intersection of engineering and aesthetics — I care as much about how a product behaves under load as how it feels in the hand. That dual lens is what lets me take an idea from a rough sketch all the way to a manufacturable, validated object.

What I can do for you

Design that connects and performs

As an industrial designer, I'm a visual storyteller — crafting products and experiences that connect deeply, perform under real conditions, and spark creativity.

01

Automation & Dark Factory Systems

Project-based industrial automation — from a single automated cell to a fully lights-out factory.

  • Factory automation design, project by project
  • Dark factory (lights-out) system layout
  • Robotic cell and material flow planning
  • Digital twin simulation and validation
02

CAE / CFD Analysis

Simulation-driven engineering that makes designs perform in the real world.

  • Mould casting analysis
  • CFD analysis and validation
  • Design modification from CFD results
  • Mould design
03

Web Design & App Development

Fast, modern, SEO-ready websites and apps built to convert and to last.

  • Responsive website and landing page design
  • Web app development with Next.js and React
  • Cross-platform mobile app development
  • SEO, performance, and ongoing maintenance
04

Product Design

Functional, manufacturable products with a strong point of view.

  • Concept development and ideation
  • Parametric & CAD modeling
  • 3D-printed prototyping
  • Design for manufacturing

How I work

My design process

01

Research & Strategy

Understand the problem, the user, and the constraints before drawing a line.

02

Concept & Ideation

Explore widely — sketches, references, and fast options over a single guess.

03

Feedback & Refinement

Pressure-test the direction and sharpen it against real feedback.

04

Testing & Optimization

Validate with simulation and prototypes; iterate until it performs.

05

Launch & Delivery

Ship production-ready output with the files and detail to build it.
