About
I was born in Rome (Italy). After spending my first ten years of childhood there, I moved with my family to Athens (Greece).
Here I finished the Italian high school and took the diploma in industrial design at the AKTO art and design school.
In the college years I applied my newly gathered knowledge by working as a 3d modeler, acquiring experience on how the “real world jobs” works.
In the next years of my career as an industrial designer I worked independently or as a part of teams collaborating with other departments involved in product development for companies but also as a freelancer, most of the time handling challenging situations where creativity and risk where needed.
Also I took part to international design competitions, attended with my work at exhibitions and published in media. -
