About me
Outside of design, I’m usually hunting for vintage denim, practicing pilates, learning golf and tennis, or exploring cafes with my chocolate poodle in search of the perfect iced latte and Oolong tea.
I love traveling, especially along the Mediterranean coast, and having long dinners that turn into conversations about design, technology, and the little details most people overlook. I'm fascinated by experiences that quietly feel right. Whether it's a beautiful cafe, a well-constructed garment, or a product that anticipates what I need before I ask. I've realized I'm rarely able to experience something without wondering why it feels the way it does.
I often catch myself wondering why those moments work. What made the space feel inviting? Why did that interaction feel effortless? What made something memorable? Those observations have become one of the ways I continue learning, and they inevitably find their way back into how I approach design.
