PHILOSOPHY & OBJECTIVES
-----------------------------------------------------------
I design narratives.
My objects live in the space between the lines, in the gap between the human and the artificial – made of stories, poetry, and imagination.
Like small domestic sculptures, they talk about us, and carry the marks of our existence, becoming metaphors of living – alter egos of their owners.
There is no design in silence. Everything tells a story.

I aspire to work in a collaborative environment to produce work that serve to functionally and poetically fulfill the clients needs.
