The roots of the work

I am a Lisbon-based interior designer and artist with a deep love for sustainable design and woodworking. I grew up in Tuscany, where my father restored antique furniture — my first lessons in patience, material and form.

After qualifying as a building surveyor in Italy and working for years in technical drawing and construction, I trained as an interior designer at the Interior Design Academy of Ireland. Six years between Dublin and Australia, and long journeys through India, Bali, Thailand and Cambodia, opened my eyes to craft, colour and a slower, more mindful way of living.

Today I bring those threads together: the rigour of a technician, the eye of an artist, and a commitment to natural materials and traditional craft. Outside of design, I paint in watercolour and work with macramé and carved wood.
