Sopax
Overview
All By 4D is a biotech startup exploring sustainable sewage solutions through a novel microbial cleaning system. I led the full-stack design across UX, industrial design, visualization, and branding, from an initial concept for a self-cleaning, low-water toilet to a deployable cleaning capsule called SOPAX. My work included 3D modeling in Rhino and Grasshopper, 3D printing, animated storytelling in Unreal Engine, and creating the full digital and visual identity system to support investor pitches and user engagement.

Problem
Statement
Initially focused on designing a self-cleaning, low-water toilet, the team pivoted toward a retrofit microbial cleaning capsule, SOPAX, based on investor input. The challenge was to distill complex biotech into a clear, engaging product experience while keeping branding consistent across shifting directions. Users included sustainability-conscious consumers, municipalities, and early-stage investors.
Process
I led full-stack design across industrial and digital touchpoints, starting with research into sanitation markets, user values, and investor concerns. Early prototypes included custom toilets with integrated capsules, later refined into self-installable units designed for standard toilets. Using Rhino, Grasshopper, and 3D printing, I developed precision assemblies and visualized workflows through Unreal Engine animations. Investor and user feedback shaped the capsule’s final design, prioritizing visibility, ease of use, and trustworthiness in presentation.
Solution
The SOPAX system combined industrial-grade engineering with approachable consumer design. Capsules were designed for simple installation inside existing toilets, while modular housing ensured manufacturability and consistency. Motion graphics, 3D renderings, and digital assets told a compelling story of ecological impact and technical viability. The brand identity blended biotech precision with consumer warmth, reinforced through a website, investor decks, and marketing collateral.
Results &
Impact
Though the company later dissolved, SOPAX succeeded in generating investor engagement and credibility as a proof of concept. The project demonstrated how speculative biotech ideas can evolve into tangible, market-ready prototypes through iterative design and storytelling. It reinforced the value of aligning technical innovation with accessible brand experiences and showed how design leadership can clarify complex ideas for both users and investors.
