I enjoy working across diverse types of projects and collaborating with teams of different sizes and backgrounds.

I find great value in adapting to various roles within a project—whether it’s early-stage concept development, detailed technical drawing, material research, layout planning, creating custom furniture solutions, preparing specifications or helping out in different parts of the project as needed. 

I’m an interior architect who moves between disciplines — between spaces, materials, and ideas. Over the past eight years, I’ve worked on a wide range of interior architecture projects, both public and private, contributing to different stages from early concepts to full working project documentation.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with teams of varying sizes within architectural and interior design studios, collaborating closely with architects, engineers, builders, and clients. For the past four years, I’ve been running my own practice, offering project-based services that include both design and project management responsibilities.

My approach is grounded in clarity and thoughtful detailing, but I’m equally interested in how spaces feel — how they age, shift, and interact with the people who use them.

In parallel to my work in architecture, I create sculptural, highly abstract furniture objects. In February, I presented my first solo exhibition in Barcelona and became a member of EspaiCenit

I’m drawn to the in-between — the unfinished, the process-driven, and the unexpected — both in interior environments and in objects themselves.
