I was born in Rome in 1984 and I’m an architect with an international career spanning Italy, Portugal, Uruguay, and Colombia. I graduated from Università Roma Tre in 2012 and have since worked with Italian and Colombian firms, co-founded the Atisuffix collective, and, since 2023, contributed to PRAS’s international department. My work centers on concept-driven design, spatial strategies, and translating complex programs into clear, innovative proposals across public and private projects. I enjoy leading early design phases, coordinating interdisciplinary teams, and communicating ideas through strong visuals and narratives. I thrive in international contexts, managing client and regulatory relationships and ensuring design quality from concept through documentation and execution.
