Summary
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Interior Architecture and Design, complemented by formal training in Graphic Design and 3D Modelling. With several years of hands-on experience coordinating design projects, I've worked closely with leading European furniture manufacturers, managing timelines, specifications, and client needs from concept through to completion. My background bridges creative design and operational execution, giving me a well-rounded perspective on both the aesthetic and practical aspects of the design process.
