Behind the Experience

Professional Background

With over 13 years of experience in interior architecture, my career path has included work with firms in New York City and Milan, where I developed my approach to spatial design while contributing to projects across hospitality, residential, and commercial spaces.

International Experience

My professional journey includes working on luxury hotel The Fontenay in Hamburg during my time with Matteo Thun's studio in Milan and contributing to international projects while working in New York City and Europe. This experience informs my approach to creating spaces that are both contextual and purposeful.

Design Philosophy

Architecture is not simply about buildings—it's about creating experiences that resonate. My work exists at the intersection of functionality, atmosphere, and human connection. Each space should tell a compelling story while serving its inhabitants with thoughtful precision.

Values

Discretion, integrity, and meticulous attention to detail form the foundation of every client relationship. Understanding that your space reflects your identity—whether personal or brand—I approach each project with both sensitivity and bold vision, ensuring results that exceed expectations while honoring your unique requirements.
