"I'm the artist among engineers and the engineer among artists".

Passion

I'm passionate about design, no lies. My design philosophy brings together old approaches of Industrial Design (Italy) to the new and ongoing processes that are now emerging in the Design World (USA), especially in tech, as I truly believe this mentality can unleash new creative opportunities.
