1. Where were you born and where are you from ?

Los Angeles, CA

2. What is your first memory connected to the art world ?

I remember wondering around the gift shop at the MOMA and was drawn to an entire row of postcards displaying the most influential paintings from all around the world. Seeing them side by side each with their own creative expression, created such a visual impact that inspired a new world of creativity for me.

3. Have you always worked in the art/design field ?

I wouldn’t say I’ve worked in the art and design field as much as I have always been connected to it. I’ve always been a very visual and intuitive person which has created an ongoing curiosity to see and experience what others are creating and keeps inspiring me to contribute in the journey as well.

4. What led you to the design creation ?

The impression one gets from experiencing something new is a feeling I continue to chase.

5. How would you describe your creative process and it influences ?

My creative process is all about bring hidden potential to the surface and creating compositions that show case something new.

6. Could you describe a typical day of your work ?

I prefer to dedicate my time preparing myself creatively by isolating myself from any interruption and just allow myself to preserve a clear mind dedicated to design.

7. Why did you choose the specific materials you work with ?

I enjoy working with metal and wood because it has the capability to transform into something that is visually powerful.

8. What are the technical particularities of your creations ?

Creating striking compositions that embody the perfect balance between design and art.

9. What advices could you give to beginning artists who would like to create sculptural design works ?

Don’t look at things for what they are but rather what they can become. Learn to train your eyes and trust your intuition. If you can teach yourself how to make things, you’re already at a huge advantage because you’ll never find someone who will care about your creations as much as you.

10. If your works had to belong to a design movement, in which one would you define it ?

The Minimalist Movement

11. What designers have influenced you ?

I went to school to study architecture and have always been influenced by minimalist design that created a strong composition that was both silent and powerful. I was always drawn to architecture by John Parson, Marcio Kogan and Santiago Calatrava. I’m also inspired by designers that achieved creative breakthroughs such as Alexander Macqueen, Ron Arad, Rick Owens and Zaha Hadid.

12. What contemporary designers do you appreciate ?

Silivia Fendi, Danielle Siggerud & Gabriel Hendifar.
