I am passionate about spatial design with a research-oriented approach, and I explore how design can foster inclusivity, sustainability and innovation. During my studies at Politecnico di Milano I have developed projects in collaboration with institutions and renowned studios such as FederlegnoArredo and Migliore+Servetto, ranging from hospitality to adaptive reuse, while gaining professional experience in an architectural studio and at the Molteni&C Historical Archive. My ambition is to become a multidisciplinary designer who shapes spaces where people live, gather and belong, whether it is a private, commercial, retail, hospitality or a temporary space. What sets me apart is my ability to approach design as a storytelling tool—crafting spaces that go beyond function to create immersive and emotionally engaging experiences—supported by a strong research-driven methodology and a sensitivity to social impact.
