ABOUT
My passion for interior design started when I was young and only grew since then.
For most of my childhood I lived in a uniquely iconic Roman house designed by the famous architect Paolo Portoghesi. It was there that I first began to experiment with light and furniture disposition to accentuate the features of the curved walls of “Casa Baldi”.
These internal spaces and memories inspired me to achieve my first qualification at the “Architettura ed Arredamento degli interni” at “Valle Giulia, La Sapienza” university in Rome, and soon after I achieved a masters in Product design at “Politecnico di Milano”.
These qualifications form the basis of my artistic, creative and technical knowledge.
I began my career in one of the most iconic contemporary furniture shops in the heart of Rome, where I had the opportunity to feel and appreciate the details and the quality of timeless and classic furniture pieces by the maestri of the XX century.
I then moved to London, furthering my experience with a boutique interior design company based in Chelsea. This specifically gave me the opportunity to learn the renovation process in detail within the surrounds and context of beautiful and classic heritage houses of the stylish inner west.
Interior stylings were sophisticated and rich in detail, using gorgeous fabrics, wall papers and colorful patterns.
Seeking a new challenge I landed in Melbourne in 2015 which opened my eyes to the endless opportunity of new buildings, and another boutique company role focusing on the high-end inner bayside suburbs.
Projects were tailored to clients with a particular desire for minimalistic materials and shapes.
My role in these high-end residential projects involved working directly with both architectural and construction teams, enabling superior results and enhancing my skills in collaboration with all local design professionals.
A personal highlight of my time in this period was winning an award for the Best Australian Kitchen design in 2019 by Zip Water.
Since 2020 a lot of working from home has been required, from which I’ve steadily grown my own project base and experience, and more so the inspiration and desire to form my own company and brand.
