Design is an opportunity to engage intimately and thoughtfully with people by creating objects, spaces and experiences which improve their lives. Whether it’s a work of art, a door handle, or the favourite room in a house, the designer’s objective is to negotiate psychological desire with tactile and sensory information to create lasting connections.
My studies in industrial design and architecture are the foundation to my larger practice and provide both a deep and broad resource set of skills, knowledge, and community. I earned my Master’s in Visual Communication in the School of Industrial Design from the Faculty of Architecture at University of Florence in Italy.

I am a classically trained Italian designer.
Our long training encompassed design in the broadest sense across the fields of industrial, architectural and graphic design. This breadth of training is reflected in the diversity of projects and fields in which I have worked since graduating 16 years ago.

From award winning children’s furniture to kitchen design, logo’s, websites, rebranding, and illustrated products for children with additional needs. I love the challenge of working in so many different fields as it stretches my creativity to the furthest limits.

Having lived in Italy, Australia and now Ireland and with clients in the UK, Ireland and Spain this also adds another layer of diversity to my work whereby I need to understand the cultural mindset and expectations of the country where the product is going to be used.
