Spatial Experience Designer &

About Me
I am a designer exploring spatial experience through phenomenology, using scenography, light, space, and organic parametric forms to shape immersive environments. My work focuses on creating spaces that evoke emotions, tell stories, and inspire transformation. With a background rooted in academic research and hands-on experimentation, I seek to challenge conventional perceptions of space, making it a catalyst for change.
