My name is Kuba and I am Industrial designer. I graduated the Magdalena Abakanowicz University in Poznań in 2022. During my studies I was a participant in the Erasmus+ programme in Bratislava in the field of Transport Design.Theexperiencegainedduringtheexchangestrengthenedmydesireto develop myself in projects relating to means of transport. Currently, as a Industrialdesigner,specialisesinautomotive,bicycledesign,e-mobility,lighting industry and consumer electronics. I co-founded the company Hazay Bikes, whichproducescargobikes.IndesignprocessImainlyusedifferenttechniques of developing concepts like 3D printing, clay modeling, design sketching.

The impetus for the project came from an analysis and observation of the amputee community. amputees, which showed that despite the high level of technical development, there are still areas of prosthetics that have not been addressed by any solution. Participating in water sports requires a person to have balance, motor coordination and the involvement of the entire muscular system. The scope of the project was limited to the shin splint, the development of the ankle joint concept and the prosthetic foot. The prosthetic funnel was not part of the scope of development, due to the level of individualisation. The search for a working principle that could enable resilience of the foot found its main inspiration in the mechanism of the vibration isolator, which in various forms is used to stabilise the vibrations of industrial machinery. The mechanics of changing the tilt angle was contained in asimplesplinemechanismdesign,whichprovidesasecure and reliable locking. A complementary accessory to the prosthesis is a rubber, non-slip cover. Thanks to it, it is possible to move around in spaces such as the swimming pool, beach or lake. The project is under development in collaborationwithIWP.

The amplifiers are designed in a way that allows visually impairedpeopletooperatethefunctions.This has been accomplished by applying contrasting descriptions and markings in Braille.Inaddition,thebodyofthedeviceshas beenenhancedwithalargehandletomakeit easier to carry the devices and an increased diameter of the knobs. The control panel has been tilted for easier access and parameter setting. The design of the amplifiers stands out from the competition and highlights the most important functions of the devices. The entire line has been designed based on a set of consistent shapes, which further gives the productcharacterandrecognition.

Design of sunbed with an electrically adjustable backrest and fans to cool the body. The project was realized at the DCT design studio. The project included a concept, virtual models made in Fusion 360 and a series of realistic visualizations for clients. A control panel was also developed from scratch. My responsibilities included overseeing and coordinating of the prototype manufacturing and material selection. The project ended with a fully functional prototype, which is a pre-productiongoldensample.
PROTOTYPE VALIDATION
Within the scope of the study, modifications were made to the design modifications to the currently manufactured table. It was decided to change the frame of the table, to do away with too many covers and to propose a new stylistic language for the entire Technomex product line. Technomex. The development involved choosing colours, redesigning the footrest and of the footrest and the way it is attached, as well as visual and material changes to the upholstered elements. upholsteredelements.

The project was developed in collaboration with the Admayer studio. The scope of the project included development work on development of a product series concept, support in patent analysis and design for new devices for monitoring a child in the vehicle and other spaces. In addition, the scope of development also included supervision of prototypes, and their verification and testing.
