Designing the intent behind the drive.
I am Prize Thomas Mathew, a Master of Design student at the University of Cincinnati specializing in automotive and mobility experiences. My background spans transportation design and professional UX.
My work is informed by formal training in vehicle design and practical experience developing enterprise-scale digital products — research, interaction design, and systems thinking. I investigate how in-vehicle systems, ADAS, and emerging mobility technologies can be designed to feel intuitive, calming, and human-centered.
Off the clock — I lift heavy, and quietly obsess over the next bottle for my fragrance collection.
Before transitioning into automotive UX and interaction design, I studied and trained in vehicle and transportation design — a foundation that continues to inform my approach to form, function, and human-centered mobility.
