I’ve been working in interior design for five years, creating spaces that reflect individuality and emotion. I’m passionate about helping people discover their personal style and what makes them feel at home - then translating that into interiors that feel lived-in, layered, and full of character.
My background has always been rooted in design and storytelling. I’ve worked closely with private clients, sourcing furniture, textiles, and accessories that balance function and feeling. Over time, I’ve learned that great design starts with listening and understanding how someone lives and what atmosphere they want to create, then designing a space that feels both personal and visually refined.
I honed my craft at IED Milan, completing an intensive program in Interior and Spatial Design. Immersed in Italian design culture, I developed a deep appreciation for spatial harmony, materiality, and the technical precision behind expressive design. Time spent in showrooms, with suppliers, and at Salone del Mobile strengthened my belief that design can move people emotionally as much as it serves them functionally.
Today, my work is about creating spaces that tell a story - curated, characterful, and grounded in individuality. I love blending pieces from both established and emerging brands, vintage finds, and handcrafted details to achieve a balance of style, comfort, and soul.
