Thank you

I carry immense gratitude for the people who’ve made a positive impact in my life.

My parents (Gino and Rajnna), siblings (Augusto, Patrizia, Sebastian, Inigo), and family — my biggest cheerleaders. Your support means so much.


My wonderful, lifelong friends — you know you who are. I am deeply grateful to have you in my life.


My fellow designers, colleagues, mentors — for sharing your wisdom, passion, and love for this craft.


Thank you, thank you, thank you.
