What inspires you?
My work as a product designer is deeply inspired by the elegance of nature and its harmonious shapes, textures, and materials. In the curves of stones worn by rivers, the intricate veins of marble, and the organic forms of landscapes, I find an aesthetic that speaks of both strength and delicacy.
Describe your creative process.
My creative process begins with careful research into each marble's unique qualities—its textures, colors, and strengths—to align material with purpose. I then collaborate closely with artisans, whose expertise helps refine and elevate my designs. Initial sketches take shape as digital models, allowing me to explore every angle and interaction with light. Finally, I oversee each production step with the craftsmen to ensure precision and quality. This journey, from raw stone to finished piece, fulfills my vision of blending beauty, function, and respect for the natural material.
