A little bit about me…

I’m an industrial designer driven by curiosity for how things are made, used, and felt. My work often begins with material exploration, whether it’s moulding cork, shaping aluminium, or exploring recycled materials, and grows through iteration, sketching, and prototyping. I’m drawn to the intersection of function and emotion, designing objects that invite interaction, express character, and stand the test of time.

I approach design as both a craft and a conversation. Each project is an opportunity to refine how we live with the things around us, from the objects that fill our homes to the tools we carry every day. I’m passionate about thoughtful simplicity, sustainable processes, and small details that make a design feel intuitive and alive. My process balances experimentation with precision, aiming to create work that feels grounded, intentional, and quietly distinctive.
