Hi, my name is Jasmine Oandasan. I thrive on blending creativity with analytical thinking, finding joy in sketching and ideation to bring ideas to life. Design, for me, is more than problem-solving; it’s about crafting meaningful experiences that reflect both purpose and personality. I approach every project with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of how objects shape human interactions. My goal is to create designs that not only function beautifully but also inspire a stronger connection between people and the products they use.
The four essential pillars encompass human-centric design approach and the understanding of full-bodied, three dimensional physical interaction of user, product and environment. The projects generate innovative solutions using research-driven, evidence-based designs which focus on the user experience.
