01 / MY STORY¶
Designing Beyond the Screen¶
I am Mohammad Alhinti, a Product and User Experience Designer, Researcher, and Trainer from Jordan, with five years of experience in design and training.
I currently work as a Technical Assistant at CPF Maker Space, where I combine design thinking with practical experimentation and digital fabrication.
My academic background includes Visual Communication Design from Cyprus and a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Civil Engineering. I also hold a Google UX Design Certificate and have received a Goethe-Institut Fellowship.
My work focuses on bridging design theory with hands-on digital and physical creation. I am passionate about making UX concepts accessible, engaging, and practical for the next generation of designers.
02 / WHY I CHOSE FABRICADEMY¶
From Digital Design to Material Exploration¶
For me, Fabricademy is the natural intersection of everything I love: digital fabrication, user experience, and the exploration of physical materials.
Having spent years working with rapid prototyping tools such as FDM 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC mills, and developing digital workflows using Fusion 360 and Blender, I found myself wanting to push beyond standard plastics and rigid assemblies.
I wanted to explore material innovation, circular fashion, and bio-design, while understanding how digital technologies can transform the way we design, make, and interact with materials.
I chose this program because I believe the future of design is not about treating digital tools and physical materials as separate domains. Instead, it is about combining computational design, hands-on experimentation, and sustainable, open-source practices.
03 / MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY¶
Design Is More Than What We See¶
I believe good design begins with understanding people, exploring materials, and questioning how things are made.
My approach combines three interconnected areas:
01 — HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Understanding people, their needs, behaviors, and interactions with products and environments.
02 — MATERIAL EXPLORATION
Experimenting with materials, discovering their properties, and transforming ideas into physical experiences.
03 — DIGITAL FABRICATION
Using digital tools, computational design, and prototyping to explore new possibilities in making.
04 / MY FABRICADEMY JOURNEY¶
Learning Through Making¶
Fabricademy is an opportunity to expand my design practice through experimentation, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Throughout this journey, I aim to explore the relationship between textiles, technology, materials, and the human body.
My focus is on learning new fabrication techniques, experimenting with alternative materials, and developing practical concepts that connect digital processes with physical experiences.
