A short story About Myself
I'm a designer working at the intersection of industrial, spatial, communication, transformation and eco-social design. My approach is hands-on, down-to-earth and practice-based. Honestly, it’s hard to pin me down to just one job title and that’s exactly what I enjoy.
How would I describe myself?
As someone who looks at my environment with a precise eye, checking color codes, marveling at fragile botanical structures, and quietly observing Mother Earth around me. I find beauty in the details of an ordinary day and love the authenticity of humans just being humans. I’m happiest when I’m fully in the moment, whether that means being barefoot in the fields while sipping a cup of coffee or out on the mountain passes with my road bike.
This way of seeing the world shapes my approach to design: I believe in building to loop it back in the circle. My work is rooted in collected narratives and stories that shape who we are and how we connect. I value authenticity, seeking truth in the vibrant and real moments of life. Design has the power to foster collaboration, even when perspectives differ - it becomes a medium where ideas grow stronger together. I create for the living body, for people and the planet, aiming to nurture both human and ecological well-being. Every detail I notice, every story I collect, and every moment I savor become part of the creative process, shaping ideas that connect, educate, support, and inspire.
