SKILLS & INTERESTS

Coming from a background in graphic communication design and music production, I now focus on digital design as a space for experimentation and immersion. Installations and interactive devices allow me to move beyond the virtual, grounding my projects in tangible, shared experiences. At the same time, editorial design remains essential to my practice. I see it as a way to capture ideas and give projects lasting materiality. My particular interest in fine art books allows me to push the limits of print, creating visual and sensory reading experiences while preserving traditional craftsmanship. Total art, the fusion of disciplines, shapes my approach. Digital media and print complement one another: one opens immersive pathways, the other preserves and transmits. I maintain a strong connection with my gene- ration, and through these mediums, I aim to honor it by building its memory, creating a living archive of our col- lective experiences and ideas. Alongside this, I produce, mix, and perform my own mu- sic while exploring the ecosystem of concerts and live events. I also practice hiking and trekking, and I am in- terested in science communication as a way to better un- derstand and share the world around us :).

Beyond my artistic interests, I am into athletism (sprint), hiking, trekking and have an interest in sciences.
