About me
I am a concept developer, designer and creative consultant with a background in anthropology and strategic design. My focus? People. I have always considered services, spaces and products from a human-centric perspective. Through an ethnographic, aesthetic, hands on and sustainable approach, I develop brand and space concepts with personal interactions at the forefront. Social stages, such as hospitality and retail spaces are therefore particularly interesting to me as they combine my passion for people, unconventional mix of service, experience and interior design. My passion is transporting people into interiors and experiences that stimulate not only the senses but also the imagination and emotions. Pure human interactions in exciting landscapes establish a sense of trust, belonging and presence. Finally, beneficial to sell services, products and soulful memories. My works have served as the fundament for several international projects in branding, interior design, F&B services and Fashion. I’ve enjoyed the chance to collaborate with a range of international experts, artists and designers, specially sourced for each assignment. Finally, I thrive when combining creativity, strategy and forward thinking partnerships which result in famous, innovative and inspiring creative solutions that serve the brightest ideas to flourish.

In collaboration with MBDS London, the concept showcases the life stages while growing up: the adventures of love, sorrows, knowledge, passion and rebellion. Do we ever grow up?
