Design has been a central force in my life since I was seven, when I first picked up a pencil to draw comic books. This passion has evolved into a deep commitment to industrial design, where creativity meets functionality. I continually explore innovative ways to bridge the gap between imagination and technicality, crafting visually captivating and meticulously engineered designs. My work is fueled by a desire to create solutions that are as practical as they are inspiring, transforming everyday challenges into opportunities for creative innovation.
