Sonar - to overcome the whole misconception of headphones being an asocial device and to improve a user's listening experience
Introducing a well-thought design solution with smart features that can offer user speech enhancement when using the device, making it easier for the user to communicate with others even in a loud environment. This can change the misconception that headphones make us look asocial. The aim is to design a user-focused headphone that can adapt to a user’s need, to make issues such as background noise avoidable yet conversations more engaging.
This headphone could alert the user on any hazards to solve the problem people experience when they use ordinary headphones in public, concerning being less aware of their environment.

Nadeen Anne Manag
I consider myself to be a visionary, a dedicated designer with an eye for innovation.
Diligent and passionate, I aim to produce desirable market-ready product solutions to everyday problems that offer new and unique experiences. I am a well-rounded designer that strives to resolve user issues through my design while focusing on aesthetics and product details.
I always challenge myself with every project that I produce, with the mindset that everything can be improved in order to develop the best solution for the user’s specific needs. I truly believe that design should always have a positive impact on people’s lives and be used to make a difference. During my studies I have developed a well-rounded skill set suitable for the industry, this includes effective sketching, in-depth design research, high-quality visual communication, UX design, and a better understanding of product manufacturing. I am also confident in using Adobe software, primarily Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Although I have developed a wide range of design skills, my key strengths are CAD and prototyping. Computer-Aided Modelling has been a fundamental tool used in my design process and something that I enjoy doing. I like following that with a practical approach, producing both low and high fidelity prototypes numerous times before I am satisfied with the outcome. All my work stems from a deep understanding of user’s needs, what is currently on the market, and how these can be improved and utilised. To improve further as a designer, I aim to develop and utilise these skills in design practice, aiming to work on projects with experienced designers in a collaborative environment.
