Introduction

In the realm of design, my passion lies in giving shape to ideas that enrich people’s lives. For me, richness doesn’t necessarily entail dramatic changes; I believe it resides in the design’s ability to bring better experiences and emotions to individuals. I am particularly interested in focusing on materials and extracting their inherent characteristics to unleash the full potential of design. I believe that by concentrating on materials, we can maximize the latent power inherent in design.
