Design has always been at the core of everything I do. From crafting interiors and custom furniture to shaping visual narratives for film and commercials. I have been always driven by a deep love for creating spaces that tell stories. With years of experience in interior design and furniture making, I developed a strong foundation in form, materials, and craftsmanship, skills that transitioned into set design and, more recently, art direction. Working in production design allows me to merge technical expertise with creative vision, building worlds that serve both function and storytelling. Whether it's designing a physical space or constructing a cinematic one, my goal remains the same: to shape environments that feel alive, authentic, and meaningful.
