Process

Research & Define

I research, but I also get my hands dirty early — making something rough helps me learn faster than reading about it. I also talk to people who know more than me and try to absorb as much as I can.

Sketch & Concept

Lots of sketching, some bad ideas, a few good ones. I use CAD to work things out more than to present them — it's part of the thinking, not the end of it.

Build & Fabricate

Laser cutting, 3D printing, hand tools — whatever it takes to hold something real. A prototype always tells you something the screen didn't.

Refine & Deliver

Getting feedback, fixing what's not working, and pushing until it actually feels right. I'm pretty hard to satisfy when it comes to the final thing.

About

Designing at the intersection of form, function, and human experience

I'm Khaled — an Industrial Design student at Georgia Tech's College of Design, born in Egypt and internationally raised. I work across product design, architecture, and interactive technology with a shared goal: create things that are rigorous to build and genuinely better to use.

My projects span ergonomic furniture, precision lighting fixtures, and large-scale interactive installations — each one built from research, made with my hands, and refined through collaboration with engineers, architects, and product teams.
