My name is Napoleon Merana, Los Angeles native. I am a designer with 20+ years experience working on various scales from objects to buildings. From designing futuristic watches to envisioning large scale commercial building projects. I had been fortunate to work with some of the most progressive architects from Daniel Libeskind, Coop himmelb(l)au , Frank Gehry and Jon Jerde to corporate giant Google as a freelance conceptual designer. I bring to the table experience working in environments that require team work and relentless exploration to solve and develop concepts.
