Designer Interview
29 April 2017
The passion for the design world has been born since I was a child. I was trying to improve everything around me. I have always been fascinated by the beautiful things. I've been working in architecture studios and I'm still working on graphics. Art in all its forms (design, photography, sculpture, etc ...) is my great passion because it allows me to express my personality and my style.
I created Design Me in 2010 from an idea that I had in mind for years. The project has always aimed to create connectivity and synergies between users. Registration is free to give the possibility to everyone to promote their ideas and creativity on the net through the Design Me platform. A portal that values meritocracy.
Design is my life. I think it represents the essence of things in all arts and everyday life.
I want to design marine accessories. The sea is the place that has seen me grow and has always inspired my creativity.
The most successful project of which I am proud is Design Me.
My first project was the realization graphics for wallpaper of a famous Italian company.
The materials that in my opinion have great potential and versatility are resin and fiberglass.
I'm more creative in the evening.
The most important aspects are the aesthetics and therefore the search for the emotional part of an object.
I'm never completely satisfied. I always pretend very much to myself.
The design must meet a need and above all must become an object of desire.
Aesthetics and then functionality.
The main responsibility is to create a useful and quality product.
Crafts, tailoring, handmade manufacturing.
Among my exhibitions were important collections: at the Salone del Mobile in 2009 and in the Napoleonic Room of the Accademia di Brera in 2010.
I'm inspired by tradition. I think the most simple and common objects you can create things with more innovative forms and sophisticated.

It's all about thinking. I often ideas come while I talk to people.
