About
I am an organised young designer, who has a strong practical side. Sensitive to different tastes and cultures I enjoy interpreting the client's wants and needs. It is a very gratifying experience to see the client truly appreciate what one has created.
I am always aiming for a diverse and an international environment. My design philosophy is to keep the focus on the client, if one is involved, and focus on the emergent need, if I am to create something new without a client involved.
My last work has been in the London design office of Celeste Dell' Anna. The projects that I worked on were private residences and I chose not to publish them here, to respect the privacy of the client. However, should somebody be interested in considering me for a position please do not hesitate to ask, and I can send you these portfolio pages in a private email. -
