About

With my education, I learnt how to build projects caring for use, targets, needs and functions. Which I consider to be essential for a good quality of design, in order to related human and its sensitivity to objects. The message embodied in a object, or in a service or a space should be able to create and procure emotion as well as utility. I strongly believe that design should offer a good balance between sense of moral, material utility, and values regarding environment respect.
