Integrating AI into Design
Since 2022, I have deeply integrated AI into my design workflow. From early-stage conceptual ideation and complex parametric design to high-fidelity contextual synthesis and stylistic layout, AI has become a core part of my workflow. The implementation of these technologies not only optimizes development efficiency but also empowers me to elevate both the visual and physical quality of my work to new heights with absolute precision.

ParaVents
Designing a gradient perforation pattern usually means wiring Grasshopper nodes or writing Creo relations, a steep climb for a simple idea. ParaVents takes that barrier away. Place a controller on the canvas, drag it, and hundreds of holes change size, density, angle or shape in real time. More than ten layouts and 100+ templates, exported as production-ready SVG, DXF or STEP.
As an industrial designer who works in Rhino and Grasshopper every day, I know how steep that learning curve is. I wanted designers to shape these patterns visually, by hand, without learning to code first, so they can spend their energy refining the details of the product.
I first built ParaVents for my own work. Along the way I have benefited from so many resources that people shared freely, and ParaVents is my way of giving back. It is a personal, non-profit project, open to anyone who wants to use it. All I ask is that you tell me your story and what you plan to make.

AI Automation Design Tool
AI Industrial Design Studio
All in One Tool. Work Smarter, Design Faster.
AI Industrial Design Studio solves the biggest frustration with AI image generation: you know exactly what you want, but can't describe it in words. This tool breaks down every professional design dimension into intuitive controls. You don't write prompts, you just drop in reference images. The system extracts form from one, material and color from another, then lets you blend them through precision sliders, like a mixing console for design. No more prompt wrestling. Just your vision, realized.
Features
AI-Driven Design Pipeline
A complete pipeline covering every phase of industrial design. Stage 1 locks in form through 3D stacking, hand-drawn profiles, and quick angle adjustments. Stage 2 enters AI Exploration with style transfer and variant generation, massively expanding the design space. Stage 3 uses AI Refinement to produce multi-angle consistent views ready to serve as modeling references. Stage 4 delivers high-fidelity output: while manual modeling remains essential, Vizcom generates rough 3D models to serve as spatial references, significantly accelerating the final precise modeling in Rhino and Creo, realistic scene rendering, and short films. Each stage is powered by purpose-matched AI tools, so designers focus on decisions, not repetitive labor.
