Context & Opportunity

During my final year of high school, I co-founded HommeParfait with a close friend, starting from a simple observation: smartphones are often placed flat on surfaces, making everyday uses such as video calls or following recipes inefficient. We identified an opportunity to design a practical and affordable 3D-printed phone holder adapted to daily needs.

Design, Production & Commercial Development

We managed the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept to market delivery.

  • Designed and modeled the product using 3D CAD tools, focusing on usability and simplicity.
  • Developed and iterated physical prototypes using PLA 3D printing.
  • Scaled production using three 3D printers, offering multiple color variations to adapt to customer preferences.
  • Built an online sales platform, including website development and deployment of targeted Facebook Ads campaigns.
  • Conducted B2B outreach to companies to offer customized versions as corporate promotional products.
