Services

  • Good ideas start with good questions. I collaborate with teams and users to explore new possibilities, using tools like sketches, moodboards, market research, brainstorming, and generative AI to bring innovative products to life.

  • This is the core of my experience: turning ideas into real products. I use 3D modeling as the main tool and physical prototypes to refine forms, test ideas, and develop production-ready solutions. By working closely with engineers and manufacturers, I bring together goals, constraints, and ideas to create forms that are both functional and appealing.

  • Understanding and empathizing with the people who use a product is key to making it successful. Even a small group of users, with honest and open communication, can help guide a project in the right direction and create a lot of value.

  • A product can express its personality and identity within a catalogue and brand. Over the years, I have focused on ensuring consistency in design choices, including color, visual language, functions, and price hierarchy. I have also contributed to aspects of brand and visual identity beyond industrial design, such as creating graphics and logos, co-creating packaging, and helping photographers.
