About
My best days are full of tasty food, long walks, great design, and quality time with friends. I like photography, books, piano music, also architecture and interior design.
Throughout the past 18 years, growing from a little toddler who painted his walls with sharpies, I keep fostering my curiosity to build and create.
The concept of minimalism helps me to simplify my life and make space for essentials: people and connectionships, creation, solitude, and chai latte.
To design honest and meaningful products, it is necessary to try to understand people’s needs and interact with everyone eye-to-eye. It’s a big task sometimes, but I try to listen and provide a safe space for everyone.
“Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.”

Experience
Not even learning how to learn leaves me with deep regret for the 12 years spent at school. I much rather spent lessons with code or designs, training my eyes and skills.
As of 2020, I started to work as a freelancer, leading to wholesome collaborations with Appmotion or
FIVE AM. Actively socializing in the design bubble paved the way for many fruitful friendships.
