I have been passionate about art since childhood; my father, a ceramist, instilled in me the value of working with my hands, insisting that it fosters thought. My uncle, also a ceramist and sculptor, taught me to admire and respect art; even now, saying the word "artist" fills me with awe.
Born and raised in Florence, Italy, I've absorbed the significance of "Beauty".
I pursued Interior Design at the Institute of Art in Florence, a place where one can simultaneously experience the present, delve into the past, and soar into the future.
Later, I earned my degree in Architecture from the University of Florence. The most profound lesson I took away was the philosophy and poetry inherent in architecture. I realized that being an architect isn't just about constructing "houses", but about understanding nature and committing to make the world a better place to live.
I've had the privilege of teaching at both the University of Architecture of Florence and the Art.e School in Florence. Through this experience, I've come to appreciate the importance and grandeur of sharing ideas and a passion for design with others.
Design is my love. Whether it's crafting anything, designing means solving problems—it means thinking.
Painting is another passion of mine. I mainly focus on portraits, capturing emotions and sentiments.
Since 2012, I've been living in Seattle, WA, with my family, where I work as an Architect-Interior Designer.
