About 

I am a 34 yr old architect from Milan, Italy, who has just recently completed an

extensive (8 years) and fruitful collaboration with the Milan based Cino Zucchi

Architetti studio. This was preceded by graduating with the highest grades from

the Politecnico of Milan and the Ecole d’architecture de Paris Belleville, as well

as previous work experience with international studios such as ASAA in Paris,

Garden 23 and the BigSpace in Milan, One Works in Milan, Venice and Rome

My formation both through my studies and work experience has created a

passion for the areas of common ground where the worlds of architecture,

design and art overlap. My interest in the influence these sectors have on each

other and how they interact and experience in working on multi-disciplinary

projects has led me to become a hybrid figure professionally, my work involves

architecture, design and communication.

 

I have a highly flexible approach to work and can move easily from architectural

and graphic design and editorial production through to the development of

communication strategies for projects. I have strong interpersonal skills and

am at ease coordinating large teams of diverse professionals, employing my

organizational spirit, confidence and enthusiasm with an ability to work under

pressure.
