Interests
Music festivals and concerts, reading, travelling. Interested in living abroad and
knowing new cultures

As a designer, I have always been attracted to the way aesthetics are an expression of
culture and this interest has increasingly grown throughout my career by experiencing
in different projects how communication is a constant element of human reality. In that
sense, my approach to design has always embraced a strong visual component. And
although I am aware that design does not solely rely on visual aspects, I do believe
that people experience things in a particular visual symbolic form.
