I’ve always had a deep connection to the arts. I grew up dancing ballet, playing guitar, drawing constantly, and being surrounded by deeply imaginative parents who encouraged me to look at the world with curiosity. I think that sensitivity still shapes the way I create today. As a child, I would find any surface that could become a sketchbook: restaurant napkins, paper table covers, and, occasionally, walls. My teachers would sometimes ask me to make my notes “cleaner” because I had filled the page with drawings instead. I also loved making clothes for my stuffed animals out of scraps and designing little spaces for my toys. Looking back, I realize I was always inventing small worlds. Nature is one of my biggest sources of inspiration, especially flowers. I’m fascinated by their tiny details, unexpected color combinations, and the way they grow and change. Classical music and dance also influence me deeply, as does traveling and stepping outside my comfort zone. Experiencing new places has taught me to pay closer attention to my surroundings and has continually expanded the way I see. My creative process is spontaneous and constantly changing. I tend to follow whatever catches my interest, but I’m also extremely attentive to detail and admittedly a bit of a perfectionist. I try to connect every project to a genuine experience and to understand its underlying intention before deciding how it should look or feel. Over the years, my architectural representation has become increasingly personal, and I’m especially proud of my hand-drawn realistic portraits and the photographs I’ve taken while traveling. Lately, I’ve been exploring typography more deeply and discovering how much it can influence the way a message is understood. I love the moment when typography brings a project together and suddenly gives it a personality of its own. I hope my work sparks curiosity and makes people look twice. I want the visual language of a project to feel cohesive while still leaving enough room for imagination and artistic thought. I’m always collecting little pieces of visual inspiration my current favorite habit is saving disposable coasters and espresso cups simply because they have interesting graphic design. I don’t think I’ll ever stop exploring; I want to keep evolving while giving my imagination a very big role in whatever I make next.
