I am an architect with a master’s degree in Architectural Lighting Design. My professional journey began in 2004, and since then I have dedicated my career to explore how light shapes the built environment.
Throughout the years, I have gained international experience through projects across Europe, America and Asia, which has allowed me to develop a broad perspective on architectural, urban, and indoor lighting. My philosophy is that; with light we can enhance architecture, and while doing so, improve the human experience.
