Hi, I'm Makushla.
I'm an industrial designer based in Melbourne.
Welcome to my portfolio.
I designed these cups for the outdoors: They hook onto a pack or branch rather than sitting on a table. A deep understanding of context informs my approach.
Iteration was the key to Homie, a children's game where anthropometry & usability are paramount.
What we do
Animation & rendered visualisations are skills I love to use when I can. This footwear animation was made in Blender and modelled in Fusion 360.
My focus on elegant functionality means I am at home designing for the outdoors. Growing up in Tasmania certainly informs me here.
Sculpting forms and testing function through prototyping is my favourite part of the design process, informing both ideation and refinement.
I'm currently developing an ongoing school outreach system with Lunaria One, to involve students in sprouting plants in lunar conditions, aboard the Aleph-1 Capsule.
(We're sending plants to the moon in 2026).
What we do
I love being part of a great team!
FOLI Acoustic Light by Acustico Lighting is designed for disassembly and recycling at end-of-life. It's also a finalist in VPDA 2023.
What we do
At Acustico Lighting, I redesigned packaging to reduce material useage and to be fully compostable & recyclable.
I care about design that makes our world cleaner, healthier and a pleasure to live in.
Experimentation is where I feel at home, and is the heart of this speculative Mycelium duct concept.
