Born and raised in Milan, I spent three formative years in Düsseldorf before returning to Milan. I completed my final years of high school in Hamburg, where I also picked up some German and French. I then moved back to Milan to study product design at NABA.

While exploring Italian manufacturing, I developed a strong desire to broaden my horizons and ventured to Hong Kong for an internship at Studio Gooris—an award-winning design studio known for strategically bridging the gap between Asian manufacturing and world-class international design. I secured a permanent role at the studio, where over five years, I collaborated closely with the founder, bringing client projects to life and supporting design operations at Bombol, the studio’s sister company specializing in durable baby products.

Seeking to deepen my engineering and manufacturing expertise, I joined Hayco’s New Product Development team in 2024 in Shenzhen while keeping a foot in Hong Kong as a Staff Industrial Design Engineer, contributing to projects for multinational clients including P&G, Church & Dwight, and Walmart.
