About


People would say that I am a careerist, that I am married to my work. If that means being devoted to and passionate about my work, then I said I Do a long time ago.

I started my relationship with architecture quite late, and it was not so romantic at first. I choose architecture only a couple of months before finishing high school, as the only non-crossed-out option on the “What I do not want to become” list. Back then, I went with my gut feeling.  Today, I know that it was the best decision I could make. I have found my calling, one which allows me to combine all my interests: creativity and design, working and traveling all around Europe*, and collaborating with different people − all while discovering new cultures and learning new languages.

What I love about my calling is the diversity of every new project, the constant learning, and the exploration of new materials, technics, and technology; the interaction with the people and the opportunity to be a part of their lives by being involved in the process of creating their most intimate and safe spots of their homes.

By the way, the official I Do, I said in Sydney to the sweetest German guy I had met in Italy.
