Over the years I’ve been more and more curious about all sort of things. Maybe after living in a foreign country for over four years I‘ve started to observe scenes that I didn’t observe with much attention before. These vary from day to day situations to the urban architecture itself, all the tiny details that I see inspire me. In my opinion, the curiosity added to a visual/cultural “database” and the passion for visual communication are the most valious attributes in a designer. I value greatly the “think design” before the “do design”. “What is it?” and “For whom/for what?” are the basic questions that I ask myself everytime I start a new project.
