About

Guided by the principle of "genius loci"—the spirit of a place—my work blends innovation with a profound respect for local culture, creating designs that are both meaningful and contextually responsive.
​I navigate the world of architecture and design with a deep appreciation for materials, form, and cultural identity.
Splitting my time between Hong Kong and Milan, I have built a career that seamlessly blends creativity and craftsmanship, concept and execution.

My journey began with a foundation in fine arts, where I developed an instinct for composition, texture, and color. This evolved into specialized studies in Interior Design and culminated in a Master’s degree in Architecture in Italy. This multidisciplinary background allows me to approach design holistically, ensuring that every space I create is both conceptually refined and meticulously crafted.

From the boutique streets of Barcelona to the dynamic cityscapes of Shanghai and the evolving landscapes of India, my portfolio spans continents, cultures, and design typologies. I have worked on residential, hospitality, corporate, and retail projects, deepening my understanding of how architecture interacts with its surroundings—how a space can be both deeply rooted in its context and forward-thinking in its design.
At the heart of my work is the principle of genius loci—the spirit of a place. Every project is an opportunity to translate identity into architecture, crafting spaces that do more than serve a function: they tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. Whether designing an intimate boutique hotel, a vibrant F&B concept, or an immersive retail experience, I approach each project as a narrative, where every detail contributes to the bigger picture.

With over 15 years of experience in retail, hospitality, and F&B design, I have collaborated with global brands such as Starbucks and JRDL, alongside boutique firms across Asia and Europe. My work has taken me to construction sites in China, Korea, Vietnam, and Italy, where I’ve developed a unique ability to merge cultural sensitivity with global design standards. This ensures that every space is not only visually striking but also deeply meaningful and functional.
I specialize in store design, brand identity, and concept creation, overseeing projects from initial vision to final execution.

My approach blends artistic intuition with technical precision, transforming ideas into spaces that are both engaging and enduring. I don’t just design interiors—I craft experiences that leave a lasting impression, where innovation, craftsmanship, and storytelling converge effortlessly.

My Professional Journey

Throughout my career, I have worked with leading architecture and design firms around the world. My journey has taken me from Hong Kong, where I collaborated with Starbucks and DWP, to Shanghai with JRDL, and to Barcelona with Mestura, RHP, LAb, Forgas, and Ojinaga.

These experiences have shaped my approach to design, allowing me to work with talented teams and take on diverse projects. Collaboration has always been at the core of my work—combining creativity and technical expertise to create thoughtful and well-crafted designs.
