About

I work at the intersection of architecture, scenography, and exhibition design, blending creative concepting with technical production. I have hands-on experience in theatre and media, combining architectural thinking with precise coordination and collaborative teamwork.

In recent years I have designed sets for theatre, dance, and photography, collaborated with choreographers, directors, and photographers, and developed concepts from sketch to execution across diverse venues. I thrive in cross-disciplinary environments and bring a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to projects from conception through installation and rehearsals.
