Edwin Huhn

Interaction Designer & Prototyper bridging the gap between hardware engineering and human-centered design. With a background spanning medical design concepts to award-winning wearable technology, I specialize in applying out-of-the-box thinking to complex HMI challenges. I translate high-fidelity digital designs into functional physical prototypes using Arduino, JavaScript, and embedded sensors to test and validate how interactions actually feel in real life.

Design Intern at Werksdesign (2024-01 – Present)

Collaborated within a multidisciplinary team to develop user-centric medical devices, bridging the gap between physical hardware ergonomics and digital interfaces. Produced physical prototypes and mapped user journeys to ensure absolute reliability and intuitive operation in highly sensitive environments.

• Extensive training in a highly complex product environment
• Market and competitive analysis
• Concepts, sketches, and design variations
• Presentation materials
• CAD details in Rhino
• Model-building concepts and implementation

Prototyping Intern at Contura Modellbau (2019-01 – 2020-12)

Constructed precise, high-end physical scale models using advanced fabrication techniques, developing a strong foundation in translating digital CAD concepts into real-world objects:

-Planning and coordination of small and medium-sized model-making projects.

-CAD design (2D & 3D)

-Laser cutting/engraving

-3D printing

-Assistance in all areas of traditional model and prototype construction.

-Sawing, sanding, drilling, gluing, assembly, painting

-Material procurement and research

-Processing and machining of plastics, wood, and metal
