Hi, my name is Nicolas Laguna, and for the past three years, I have been undertaking the Bachelor of Product Design at UniSA. My design passion began at a young age, when I could always be found drawing, sketching, or tinkering with things. This ambition to find how things work led me to this course, where I learned to develop my design and problem-solving skills.

Throughout my studies, I’ve developed a strong interest in computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing processes, and 3D visualization, as well as branding and communications design. My design philosophy focuses on merging aesthetic functionality with the right to repair, and I consistently strive to create solutions that embody these values in my work.

The Nothing Compact Driver is a smart rotary tool designed for small spaces and renter-friendly home improvement. Its AI-assisted torque control and depth sensing provide precise, effortless drilling and assembly tasks. Inspired by Nothing’s minimalist design ethos, the tool merges form and function through a refined, compact body that’s easy to store and repair. Balancing technology and simplicity, it redefines everyday maintenance as a clean, confident, and connected experience.
