RESEARCH AND DEVELOPEMENT
Research that starts with your interests and unfolds through a multisensory lens. From research to realization, I transform insights into design proposals, solutions, speculations, and experiences that engage the senses.
tableware and experience design
Turning your concepts into custom tableware and eating tools. Based on your idea, I design and create unique pieces for restaurants and events. Working with a wide range of materials and techniques, I transform ideas into reality.
workshops and consulting
Discover the sensory potential of your ideas. I consult on your existing concepts or tools to uncover how they might influence the overall experience. This helps you understand whether they create the effect you want, and shows you what can be done to achieve your desired results. I also offer workshops on innovation and sensory design, guiding you to explore new perspectives.
I WORK WITH BOLD, INNOVATIVE AND DARING CLIENTS WHO WANT TO PERFORM AHEAD OF THEIR
COMPETITION AND TIME.
DO YOU LIKE TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR FIELD AND YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF NEW IDEAS AND SOLUTIONS?
I THINK WE WILL WORK WELL TOGETHER!
IT ALL BEGINS WITH AN IDEA.
