About

I am an optimistic and versatile Interior Architect and Designer with a global perspective, shaped by my Finnish-Italian heritage. In my work, I strive to meet people’s needs and communicate the unique context of each project — all while pushing boundaries and prioritising originality. The contrast between Finnish precision and Italian creativity defines both my personal and professional identity, making my approach to design distinctive and multifaceted. My skills and interests span project management, design development, and creative direction, along with storytelling, public speaking, sales and cross-cultural communication. Having lived in six different cities, I have become a fast learner who quickly adapts, understands, and appreciates diverse people, environments, and cultures.
