Soojee, Who?
I'm an industrial designer who thinks in manufacturing constraints first.
A decade of work across healthcare, consumer electronics, and precision tools — on three continents, on products that shipped and patents that filed.
I work at the intersection of form, function, and fabrication. That's a lot to hold at once, but it tends to produce better outcomes than designing in isolation.

Tweaked for a lil’ chaos and curiosity
Constraints are the brief
01
I trained as an engineer before I trained as a designer. That means I don't treat manufacturing, cost, and physics as obstacles — I treat them as the actual design problem. Less rework. Faster decisions. Better outcomes.
From insight to something buildable
02
Research is only useful if it changes what you make. I translate user insight into decisions that move development forward — not just slides that validate what everyone already thought.
The person who speaks both languages
03
Design and engineering talk past each other constantly. I've spent a decade being the person in the room who doesn't have to choose a side. Ambiguous briefs become clear briefs. Clear briefs become shipped products.

I try to find inspiration from what I do and things around me. Some of them are cooking, cliched love for mechanical watches, 3D printing, tinkering with Pocket Operators and so on.

Sujith was a valuable part of our design team at Apex Tool Group for the past five years. Coming from an engineering background, he has a strong technical foundation for product design, but also a natural creativity and design sensitivity. He's extremely self-motivated and resourceful, which has been a huge help to me as his manager and to our team as a whole. He's very willing to accept new challenges, and will continue to be productive with little input.
Adam Day
Director of Design, Apex Tool Group
Sunny brings with him a positive attitude tempered by a sharp wit. As well, his relentless quest to improve his skills, gain feedback, and grow as a designer is admirable and will take him far. Great designers are borne from a combination of grit, determination, and natural ability - I believe Sunny possesses all of these and will make impact in any design environment he chooses to pursue. His thinking, energy - along with his sense of humor - will be missed in our office.
