Born and raised in Milan. I have always been attracted to beauty. I completed my BCS and Masters of Science in Environmental Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. What I have learned through architecture is that everything can be a source of inspiration. I love architecture, design, landscape and plants and everything that has a creative and aestethic process. I am very interested in plants as a living material to build with. In this sense I can design gardens, parks and everything that includes plants as part of the design. Over the past three years I have been living and working in four different countries. Beginning in Milan where I was completing my Masters degree, I moved to Hong Kong in 2009 to design the interior of the Mikvah (Jewish ritual bath) for the Jewish Community Centre. I also exhibited design project at the Architectural Biennial in Shen-Zhen, China. The following year, I won a scholarship to live and study in Lisbon, where I had the opportunity to learn Portuguese. In 2011, I returned to Israel where I had previously lived, and worked for HQ Architects in Tel Aviv. In 2012, I moved to New York where I worked for Studio Daniel Libeskind and now, I am studying at the New York Botanical Garden to enrich my professional knowledge on plants and nature. I also am a copywrighter for the on line design magazine Simple Flair.
