BA Major Design Semester
2025/26 SS My project is a chocolate sound bowl that amplifies the sound of breaking chocolate through differently shaped lids. Each press creates a distinct fracture — squishing, cutting, or snapping — that hints at how the chocolate might taste and feel. The project treats sound as part of flavor perception, shaping expectations before the first bite. By slowing the moment into listening and then tasting, it turns eating into a small sensory ritual that encourages a slower, more attentive way of eating.

Designing How Things Feel (Right) - Usability & Emotional Interaction in Physical Products
How do objects shape experiences? This course explores the relationship between function, emotion, and interaction in product design. Through the development of an emotion-driven swing and a series of “Tasting Tools” centered around bread, chocolate, and wine, students investigated how design influences perception, behavior, and experience. The resulting projects demonstrate that products are not only used—they are experienced.
