From an early age, questions like, "Why do elephants have trunks?" or, "How trees grow that tall?", have been part of my restlessness to understand more about the world. Becoming a designer was just a consequence of this endless curiosity. My connection to nature comes from those times, and I am happy to have combined my passions in connecting Design with Nature, finding solutions that work positively for both. With a Masters degree in Industrial Design, followed by a path in permaculture and regenerative agriculture, I interpret the landscape and ecological systems so that they can evolve in harmony with human activity.

The aspiration to be part of a paradigm shift towards a flourishing, just and regenerative society, with no one left behind is what moves me.
