I am an architect with solid experience in interior design, custom furniture design, and architectural design of residential and commercial projects. I have worked as a junior architect at Granese Architecture & Design Studio, in a dynamic and international environment that fueled my passion for interiors, high-quality craftsmanship, design, and meticulous attention to detail. I also work with graphic design, logo design and illustration, which I have always pursued with enthusiasm because visual communication underpins architecture and design. My design approach is clean, functional and crafted with precision, aimed at delivering fast, efficient, and professional service. I excel at harmonizing interior styles, project layers, materials and colors to enhance the sensory experience of space, while staying collaborative and organized to lead projects from concept to completion.
