I am working as a product and spatial designer with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design. I take a multidisciplinary approach, integrating spatial, graphic and product design to craft compelling narratives and engaging experiences across diverse sectors. Inquisitive and introspective, I often turn to nature for inspiration, creating designs that harmonise organic forms with structured functionality. Rooted in visual arts, my work invites audiences to ponder the intricacies of my creations. Beyond design, I am a fine artist with a passion for oil painting and art history, which deepens my sensitivity to detail and aesthetic appreciation, enriching my practice with a profound understanding of form and expression.
