Background

As an Interaction Design specialist, I started my professional career in Germany before extending my creative path to the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, and Hong Kong. Awarded with several national and international awards, I have had the opportunity to work on various projects ranging from purely digital to fully tangible works. Moreover, my endeavors with several intercultural clients provided me with all the knowledge necessary to tackle a variety of interdisciplinary design challenges.
