/ SPATIAL DESIGN +FABRICATION

I design and create objects, ranging from furniture to spatial installations and architectural interventions. I enjoy working with simple elements and mechanical connections; aiming not to dictate too much about the future and to design for adaptation.

I started my education at TU Delft, where I did a bachelor in Product Design Engineering in 2013. After working as product developer for 3 years I continued my education at the Royal College of Art in London where I completed my postgraduate in 2018 with an Award of Excellence.

Since then I've been gathering experience in different fields; designing, developing and producing furniture, spatial installations and architectural projects. Both at design studio's as well as in collaboration with other designers, architects and artists.

Since 2021 I work independently from my studio in Amsterdam Noord, as well as from Palermo, Italy more recently. I'm not bound to either one of these domains (or places); I'm flexible, curious and keen to collaborate with specialists to keep realising beautiful projects wherever they arise :) Don't hesitate to reach out for advise or help on yours!
