“
I have a thirst for knowledge and my work is the result of the knowledge I have acquired both professionally and thru my personal interests.
The focus of my work has been to try to create new retail paradigms and methodologies that have human relevance.
Brands that venture outside of the retail world, into more global concerns thru multi-channels with mindful product offerings. Beautifully designed, well-made and purposeful products.
Products and brands that have content and substance, that engage, entertain and offer an experience and tell a meaningful, but most importantly, authentic story... soulful brands.
Let the beauty you love be what you do.” Rumi
I am passionate about retail. For me, retail is a form of storytelling. A chance to engage, entertain, innovate and create beautiful things.
My approach to design has always come from a cultural and sociological viewpoint.
My work is very much driven by color, pattern, texture, form as well as new materials and processes.
My style is clean, bold and playful.
