I’m a Spatial Designer based in London, UK. Inquisitive and passionate, I merge analytical reasoning with a human-centred approach. I believe in the empowering commitment of design to prompt meaningful relationships among people, spaces and objects. I focus on storytelling within the development and communication of the project to deliver memorable spatial experiences.
