01 — Profile

Industrial designer with more than ten years across physical products, packaging and luxury objects — from research and architecture to CAD, CMF, visualisation and the engineering conversation.

I founded MALINYX Studio to work the way I think a product should be judged: evidence before form, decisions with reasons, and claims that carry the level they have earned. The portfolio shows each project at the stage it has really reached.

Client work through MALINYX Studio

  • 2024
    TILBED (Denmark)

02 — What I doDisciplines · method

Evidence
before form.

  • Industrial & product design

    From proportion studies to part lists: appliances, carry systems, refillable beauty.

    THERMA · MONOLITH · ECS · CLX-CT-01 · ÉCLOS · AXON
  • Luxury objects & packaging

    Watches, flacons, decanters and coffrets with real walls, fills and fits.

    HAXĀ · ABAN · MARCELLA · ÉCLOS
  • Mechanism & interface

    Bayonets, hinges, docking interfaces, load paths — designed to be assembled and serviced.

    THERMA · MONOLITH · ECS · ÉCLOS · AHRK · AXON
  • CMF & colour

    Colour, material and finish studied side by side, with the rejected directions shown.

    THERMA · ÉCLOS · AHRK
  • Engineering communication

    Drawings that print, measured tables, claims that carry their level.

    HAXĀ · ABAN · MARCELLA · ECS · CLX-CT-01 · AXON
  • Research & AI-assisted workflows

    AI imagery and tools used openly and labelled.

    ZEWM_EXCMON · CLX-CT-01 · Cross-Tool · Field Notes
  1. 01Investigate

    Reviews, complaints, failures, constraints — gathered before any form.

  2. 02Frame

    Requirements with IDs, so every module can say why it exists.

  3. 03Model

    3D models built to the depth each decision needs: Rhino and SolidWorks, or scripted geometry where key dimensions stay variables.

  4. 04Audit

    Walls, fits, clearances and volumes measured on the model; interferences screened.

  5. 05Show

    Renders that keep the true materials, drawings that print, claims that carry their level.

04 — How to read this siteOne vocabulary, used everywhere

Every project names its stage.
Every image, what it is.

Project stage

  • AI visual study

    An image-led exploration made with AI tools. It shows a direction, not a product model.

    EXO · BOTA · IGNIS · Catch Rider Feline
  • Concept

    A proposition defined through specification, drawings and visuals. Not a complete, measured CAD product.

    MONOLITH RF03-U1 · ÉCLOS lipstick · AHRK · ÉCLOS Paris
  • Design study

    One question taken deep — a mechanism, an interface, a form or a colour system — in CAD or drawings. Not a complete product.

    THERMA · CLX-CT-01 · ÉCLOS Refill Ritual · Relief ring
  • CAD-developed concept

    The product modelled in CAD to the depth the page states — exterior, key interfaces and the checks listed. Not built or physically validated.

    HAXĀ · ABAN · MARCELLA · ECS · AURYN BLEND · ROSA ÉCLOSE · AXON
  • Prototype

    A working prototype exists (an app, a tool or a functional model); the page says exactly what it covers. Form-only models are listed under Physical evidence.

    TINY TOGETHER · PEBBY · Printed bag series · Cross-Tool Palette
  • Production project

    Released for manufacture or sale.

    ÉCLOS · TILBED · ÉCLOS Leather
  • Research / investigation

    A research output — an investigation, a method or a set of principles — rather than a product.

    ZEWM_EXCMON · Field Notes

Image types labelled at the image only when it matters

  • 3D render

    A render of the project’s own 3D model.

  • CAD view

    A clay or technical view of the CAD model.

  • Technical diagram

    A drawing, sheet or schematic made from the model or the brief.

  • Original render

    The original render, shown beside the 2026 model.

  • Reconstruction

    Rebuilt from documents or data — named as such where it appears.

  • Source material

    A board or page from the original portfolio.

  • App screenshot

    A screen from a working prototype.

  • App screenshot · AI-generated art

    A prototype screen whose illustrations are AI-generated.

  • AI-assisted visual

    Made with AI tools over the designer’s own forms or renders.

  • AI-generated concept image

    Generated from a written brief; it shows intent, never evidence.

Claim levels on figures a level, then its scope: “Designed · blockout”

  • Designed

    Drawn or modelled: the value exists in a design file. Not built.

  • Model dimension

    A dimension of the 3D model as designed. It describes the model, not a measured part.

  • Specified intent

    A target written down. Not built, not tested.

  • Measured on model

    Read from the model by a stated method. It describes the model, not a product.

  • Screened on model

    A thresholded check on the model — a screen, not a zero measurement.

  • Counted

    A count from the model or the project files.

  • Reported

    A production or sales figure reported by the designer; the records behind it are not shown on this site.

  • Supplier spec

    A value from a supplier’s published data, not measured here.

  • In prototype

    Observed in a prototype that exists — an app, a tool or a form model; the scope says what it covers. Not a test result.

  • Not claimed

    Said out loud, so nobody assumes it.

  • AI-generated

    An image that communicates intent. Never evidence.
