I pursue creative solutions that are intelligent, inspired and beneficial in people's lives

Three values inspire my design approach:

Good design will have a long and appreciated life as it will be a positive force for many years.

Inspired design is not a luxury, it just takes more time and a persistent search.

People's needs and aspirations, no matter their budget and place in society deserve good design
