I was born and raised in Florence, Italy, where I graduated from a linguistic high school, following my desire to communicate with different cultures and people. After obtaining my design degree at Florence Design Academy, I attended Savannah College of Art and Design. There, I studied Interior Design and received my degree Magna Cum Laude in Fine Arts. For over four years I lived and worked in New York exploring different avenues of design, from interiors to graphics to visual merchandising. Along the way I dedicated my time and efforts to volunteering for humanistic causes.
Recently, I finished my MPhil in Psychoanalysis at Trinity College Dublin, in my continued efforts to understand the human experience and how to positively impact it. It feels important, now more than ever, to thoughtfully create environments that are low impact on the earth and high impact on people, and I intend to use my breadth of knowledge and experience to do so.
