Since my youth, I had many people or things that played a significant role in the development of my career! To be honest the impact in my designs came from my life, experiences, trips done, books read, people I met around the world, food I tasted, different cultures I found, friends, family, movies, etc….
Nevertheless, if I had to choose one or two people, I would definitely choose my parents who are the main responsible for the person I became. My parents they were both teachers and I had a school at home what means that I lived my entire childhood surrounded by kid from many age, something that I find totally amazing and at the same time unusual! Who grew up with a school inside home? This experience changed my life and way of being making me more dynamic, creative and expressive.
Then, the trips I have done around the world and the different cultures I had chance to find make the turn point of my project of life, because I use to say that I don’t have a work but a project of life. For me design comes from the soul – what I feel about the place at that moment. This means that my emotion will be translated into designs, and it makes that bough projects are developed with the same commitment!
