Hugo Tucker

Industrial Design

I’m an industrial designer driven by curiosity, problem-solving, and the pursuit of designs that balance functionality with beauty. I love getting stuck into new challenges, whether that means digging into research, sketching out ideas, or building hands-on prototypes to see what works (and what doesn’t). For me, every project is an opportunity to learn, grow, and collaborate - and I get the most energy from working alongside others who share that same passion for design.

I was born in Sydney and have lived in Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand - experiences that have shaped my outlook and given me a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives. Having grown up across different places, I’m excited to keep exploring and create a life in new corners of the world.

Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me on a climbing wall or out in the mountains. I love the problem-solving nature of climbing, the thrill of pushing my limits, and the perspective that comes with reaching the top. Time outdoors gives me space to reset, stay active, and fuel the same drive for growth that I bring into my design work.
