I am a detail-oriented and creative designer with a strong interest in technology and user-centred design. I combine technical problem-solving with practical prototyping and product design thinking, continuously refining ideas to improve the final outcome.
Final Year Project – Nyra
hllo skja
Nyra is an at-home diagnostic sleep device that helps identify and record biological factors linked to poor sleep hygiene and chronic insomnia. The design provides patients/users with a more comfortable alternative to traditional in-clinic polysomnography testing by allowing data to be collected within the user’s own sleep environment. This improves user comfort, confidence in testing, and natural sleep behaviour, allowing specialists to analyse more realistic sleep data over multiple nights than from a single clinical session.
Nyra Headband
Key features
Gold cup EEG electrodes encapsulated within medical-grade silicone overmoulds, integrated into flexible support bands designed to conform to the head. The silicone housing provides skin-safe contact, positional stability, and protection for the electrode assembly, while the band structure maintains consistent electrode placement and contact pressure, enabling reliable brain wave data collection.
Adhesive electrode pads are placed around the head for EEG data references and on the side of the eyes for EOG data collection.
Adjustable sliders and connected clips allow specialists to align the electrodes precisely prior to testing to ensure accurate data collection
The ear alignment hook allows patients to rewear the Nyra headband every time with great accuracy and placement for each use.

Design for Manufacture
All parts are designed for injection moulding, overmoulding and casting, reducing the need for fixing, lowering the time for assembly.

Additional Projects
Firebot project
My group designed, manufactured and coded a compact robot capable of traversing obstacles, climbing inclines and extinguishing fires around a challenge course. An ESP32 Bluetooth-controlled microcontroller enabled wireless operation, while high-torque motors delivered climbing performance, and a servo-powered peristaltic pump system extinguished flames. Building, debugging and refining the robot strengthened my skills in rapid prototyping, electronic circuit development and maintenance.

Live projects
Surfacing
Nocturne: Participated in a 10-day design spring project to design a lighting product to reduce the impact on wildlife/animals. Designed an urban illumination system to support plant growth throughout the night while also enhancing the efficiency of nocturnal pollinators and providing functional lighting for people
Gaming Mouse: A 3D surfacing project aimed to develop an understanding of creating smooth, visually refined, and manufacturable forms while improving accuracy and control in digital modelling. Working with G2 surface continuity introduces the importance of smooth curvature flow between surfaces, helping create products with improved aesthetics, better surface quality, and more professional design outcomes.
