My ultimate goal is to stand out as a designer, not only for my creative prowess but also for the core values and principles that define my work. I am committed to delivering exceptional designs, prioritising a seamless and stress-free experience for my clients. My aim is to be acknowledged as a professional who, through empathy, transparency and dedication, not only transforms spaces but also enhances the lives of those who place their trust in my vision and skills.
Life occasionally takes unexpected turns, and my calling is a prime example of that. I cannot claim to have spent my childhood building doll’s houses or flaunting remarkable skills in designing miniature furniture. Instead, my talent had to wait for its moment to shine!

Even though the signs of my aesthetic sensibility and innate elegance were ever-present, it took me a while to realise my true passion. With time, I have discovered a deep satisfaction in designing beautiful and harmonious spaces that positively impact people's lives, enhancing their quality of life and making them feel inspired and comfortable in their surroundings.
Growing up amidst the vibrant traditions of southern Italy profoundly shaped my journey as an interior designer. The rich cultural heritage and passionate spirit of the region, reflected in its flavours and warmth, laid the foundation for my enduring passion for aesthetics and creativity.
My career unfolded in the pulsating culinary scene of Milan and the warm light of Barcelona, shaping my identity as an interior designer. Starting as a food stylist in Milan, my appreciation for aesthetics and visual composition thrived in the culinary arts.
Upon relocating to Barcelona, my eagerness to share my passion for cuisine led me to teaching and curating gastronomic events. This added a distinct social and educational dimension to my professional life.
In my present role as an interior designer, I seamlessly blend my background in culinary aesthetics with organizational expertise. Beyond creating visually appealing spaces, my aim is to go further, weaving narratives through design and reflecting each client's unique identity.
My multi-faceted journey is evident not only in my unique design approach but also in my ability to connect with people. Fluent in three languages, a testament to my passion for intercultural communication, I view each project as an opportunity to shape visual narratives that reflect the richness of my experiences and highlight my clients' individuality. From my standpoint, design extends beyond mere aesthetics; it's a conduit for connection and expression, where each element tells a unique story shaped by the essence of life and the inspiration I draw from my surroundings and experiences.
