An industrial designer focused on creating performance led products and brand experiences through thoughtful form, usability, and branding. I believe strong design should solve real user problems while communicating purpose, and function in a clear and meaningful way.


AERØ

A portable shoe drying solution designed for athletes between training sessions.

AERØ is a battery powered shoe dryer designed to fit inside sports shoes and reduce moisture through continuous airflow. Existing shoe dryers are often bulky household appliances designed for home use, making them difficult to carry or use between sessions. AERØ focuses on portability and ease of use allowing athletes to dry shoes in sports bags, changing rooms, lockers, or during travel. The product uses a heel mounted axial fan and directional airflow channels to improve ventilation while maintaining a compact and performance led form.

AERØ clips directly onto a sports bag, allowing athletes to carry and dry their shoes between training sessions.
The integrated carabiner system supports portable use and reinforces AERØ’s role within an active training routine.
The handle allows the product to be inserted and removed from the shoe quickly and comfortably.
The exploded view highlights how the internal components are integrated within a compact and portable performance focused form.
The retail visualisation positions AERØ within premium sports retail environments rather than traditional household appliance spaces.
