I recently completed my Master’s degree in Interior Architecture, building on my background in Industrial Design. My practice has evolved from designing individual objects towards a broader understanding of space as a complex system of relationships between people, materials, context, and time.
Throughout my studies, I became increasingly interested in design as a process rather than a final outcome:
a continuous accumulation of meanings, traces, and experiences that shape the way we inhabit spaces.
I approach design through research, observation, and analysis, exploring how places can emerge from their specific cultural, social, and material contexts rather than from universalized visual languages.
My work is driven by a curiosity about authenticity in contemporary design and the role of the designer with in an increasingly digital and globalized environment. In
a time when references and aesthetics are rapidly circulating and becoming homogenized, I am interested in developing approaches that reconnect design with locality, memory, and the unique qualities of a place.
Alongside my design practice, I work professionally in ballet and contemporary dance, which deeply influences my understanding of space through movement, rhythm, embodiment, and perception. I also explore oil painting, functional ceramics, and cooking as parallel creative practices that inform my sensitivity towards materiality, composition, and sensory experience.
I am particularly interested in developing research-based design methodologies and exploring how critical thinking and careful analysis can become tools for creating meaningful and context-responsive environments.
