about me...
Endlessly curious, hyperactive and remarkably critic. i live my everyday life just the way i imagined when someone asked me -when i was 5- what do you want to do for living? Trough my design approach i try to show my aesthetic, creative and ecological principles, and with my projects i develop a deep analytic-creative-functional methodology.
