About me
Through a multidisciplinary vision, I explore the connection between luxury, craftsmanship, technology, architecture, art, and design, translating global inspirations into distinctive footwear concepts that balance tradition, innovation, and contemporary aesthetics.
As a freelance footwear designer, I develop and lead dynamic creative projects shaped by international influences, offering consultancy services to emerging and established brands across the luxury, fashion, and trend-driven sectors. My approach combines creative direction, product development, and technical expertise, from concept research to materials, shapes, construction, and final design solutions.
