How I work

I prefer building long-term collaborations, based on constant communication and a partnership approach, rather than chasing one-off assignments.

Working with few clients lets me keep quality high and be truly your point of contact, from concept to handover.

Beyond the site

Behind the numbers there is a person.

I started from construction sites and tenders and ended up in the interiors of cruise ships. The thread is always the same: making complicated things work when many people are working on them together. I like watching a space go from a drawing to somewhere you feel good.

I’m dad to Giulia and Andrea, and their biggest fan. I was born in Como and, apart from a short parenthesis, I have always lived in Ronago: I live there proudly and I’m proud of my roots. That’s where I start from and where I come back to, wherever a project takes me.

I travel, I love reading, and I build playlists with a beginning, a middle and an end, like a well-planned project. For me precision and sensitivity don’t exclude each other: they are the same craft.

01

Travel

New places, sunsets, a few photos.

02

Reading

I love reading: books, stories, ideas to bring to the site.

03

Music

Progressive rock, guitars, playlists built like stories.
