— HI, I'M ABRAHAM M. HAJI YOUNES, INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER WHO TRANSFORMS OBSERVATIONS INTO INNOVATIONS AND STORIES INTO EXPERIENCES.
“I start by asking the right questions — seeking to understand before solving. My work is driven by curiosity and empathy, aiming to create intuitive, sustainable, and meaningful experiences.”
With a background in filmmaking, I’ve learned the power of storytelling and emotional connection — insights that shape my design approach. I strive to balance aesthetics, function, and empathy in everything I create.
I see design as a tool for positive change — a way to respond to real-world challenges with solutions that are meaningful, responsible, and beautiful.

We live in a time when microplastics are everywhere — in our oceans, our soil, even in our bodies. It’s an invisible crisis, but its consequences are deeply real. As an industrial designer, I can’t look away.
Every choice I make — materials, form, production, distribution — leaves a trace. And when those traces never truly disappear, the responsibility grows heavier.
I believe design isn’t just about creating something new. It’s about thinking further. What happens to what I create when it’s no longer used? Can it be recycled? Will it break down? Is it even necessary?
To design with responsibility is to ask the hard questions. To sometimes choose less. To do less, but better. To see beauty not only in how something looks — but in the impact it has on the world around us.
It’s not easy. It’s not always comfortable.
But it’s necessary.
And for me, that’s where design begins.
Microplastics are everywhere.
In the ocean, the soil — even in us.
It’s an invisible crisis.
But the effects are real.
As an industrial designer, I can’t ignore it.
Every design choice leaves a trace.
And those traces don’t just go away.
So I ask:
Can this be reused?
Will it break down?
Does it need to exist at all?
Good design isn’t always about more.
Sometimes, it’s about less — but better.
Less waste. Less harm. More care.
It’s not easy.
But it’s necessary.
That’s where design begins.
CINEMATIC WORKS
In my films, I explore the intersection between art and existence — where the human creative process becomes a window into deeper philosophical questions.
