About 

As a designer I dedicate myself to observe people, environments, reactions and scenarios. Testing people for a change and testing space for people to change their behaviors in an engaging way is part of my goal, that kind of impact in “things” is what makes a difference in the design field and give every project an individual and personalized story (not only spaces but services and products). I believe that Innovation in technology, ideas, concept and development is one of the keys for achieving this impact and good performance.
