Aviv Haas

I’m an industrial design student, craftsman, and skateboarder from Holon, Israel, born on March 16, 1999. After graduating from Wizo Hadassim High School—where I studied cinema and geography—I served as a commander in an IDF infantry regiment (2017–2020), completing the class commanders course and training others in rescue and combat. This period taught me responsibility, teamwork, and how to solve problems under pressure.

In 2021, I began pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design at the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT). My work blends hands-on skills in carpentry and welding with digital proficiencies in Adobe, KeyShot, and SolidWorks. I’m particularly passionate about 3D modeling (CAD) and mechanical mechanisms, which deepen my understanding of form, function, and material behavior. Managing 3D printer farms—and experimenting with integrating printed elements into textiles—has further strengthened my technical and creative approach to design.

To me, design is about merging creativity with real-world application. Whether developing open-source projects like the “Fruit Piano” (check references) or crafting custom pieces in wood and metal, I aim to create solutions that make daily life more efficient and enjoyable. Outside the workshop, I find inspiration in skateboarding, painting, and cooking—activities that keep me curious, flexible, and ready to push boundaries in whatever I do next.
