About Me
I am an Italian interior designer in Barcelona with a passion for creating beautiful, functional and emotionally meaningful living spaces.
My approach to interior design goes beyond decoration. I believe the spaces we live in shape our wellbeing, our mood and our daily experiences. That is why every project I design is guided by empathy, attention to detail and a deep understanding of my clients’ lifestyles.
My mission is to make the design process clear and enjoyable, while delivering interiors that feel refined, harmonious and truly personal.
My Italian Roots and Mediterranean Design Philosophy
My design identity is deeply influenced by my Italian heritage.
Growing up in southern Italy surrounded by vibrant traditions, colours and textures shaped my natural sensitivity to aesthetics and atmosphere. Mediterranean culture — where light, architecture, food and social life are deeply connected — has always inspired the way I think about spaces.
Today, living and working in Barcelona, I bring together Italian elegance and Mediterranean warmth to design interiors that feel sophisticated, welcoming and timeless.
As a luxury interior designer in Spain, I focus on creating homes that combine beauty, comfort and functionality in a balanced and natural way.
My Journey From Milan to Barcelona
My professional journey did not begin in interior design, but in the world of aesthetics.
In Milan, I worked as a food stylist, where I developed a strong eye for composition, colour harmony and visual storytelling. Working in the culinary industry taught me how carefully designed aesthetics can influence emotions and experiences.
Later, after moving to Barcelona, I expanded my professional path by teaching and organising gastronomic experiences, which added a social and cultural dimension to my work.
Today, I bring all these experiences together in my work as an interior designer. I see every project as an opportunity to create spaces that are not only visually beautiful, but also meaningful and inspiring.
Designing Spaces That Tell Your Story
For me, interior design is not only about aesthetics.
It is about creating spaces that tell a story — your story.
Each project is unique, and every element within the space should contribute to a coherent and meaningful environment. Materials, colours, art and furniture are carefully selected to reflect your personality and lifestyle.
My goal is to transform houses into homes that feel authentic, harmonious and inspiring.
My Human-Centred Design Approach
I strongly believe that:
Your health and mood are more connected to your environment than you may realise.
For this reason, I approach each project with a strong focus on the people who will live in the space.
Before starting the design process, I take time to understand your lifestyle, habits, tastes and expectations. This allows me to design interiors that support your daily life while reflecting your personal identity.
My design process is built around three priorities:
- understanding the client deeply
- creating elegant and functional interiors
- ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience
My aim is always to create spaces that make you feel comfortable, inspired and proud of your home.
