I blend functional space planning with furniture design to create environments that are both aesthetic and practical. Over the last decade, I've led and collaborated on projects across Europe and Latin America, translating client briefs into 2D drawings, 3D models, and photorealistic renders. I enjoy exploring how BIM, AI, and archviz tools can streamline workflows and unlock new design possibilities. My work emphasizes close collaboration with clients and suppliers, ensuring every detail from spatial layout to custom furniture meets quality and sustainability goals. I'm open to opportunities that challenge me creatively and allow me to contribute to innovative spaces.
