Introduction

My name is Hammad, and I am an internationally recognized, award-winning product design student at Nottingham Trent University. I would describe my design preference for products that are multi-functional or space-saving while also being minimalistic. As Steve Jobs said “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works” (Jobs, 2003). I am naturally curious and want to explore the world looking for new and innovative that I can seek inspiration.

Design

is not just limited to aesthetics. It is an amalgamation of form and function whereby an emotional connection is created between the people and the products that they use. I love the challenge of finding the perfect balance between these two elements, and I find it incredibly rewarding seeing the positive impact my designs have on people's lives.

One of my favourite things about design is its applicability to a wide range of industries and disciplines. Whether it's designing a new piece of technology, a piece of furniture, a fashion item, or even a building, the principles of design remain the same. This means that as a designer, there are endless opportunities to explore and push the boundaries of what's possible.
