About
More
I am an industrial designer with more than 25 years of experience in product design and development, working across the entire process from the first idea to mass production.
Today, I collaborate with companies across different industries, helping them create new products, develop existing portfolios and turn ideas into meaningful, manufacturable solutions.
My work combines design thinking with a deep understanding of materials, manufacturing technologies and feasibility. I believe good design is about finding the right balance between function, aesthetics, technology, user experience and production.
