About

I am an aesthete with an entrepreneurial mindset. With more than 15 years of adventures in the fashion/luxury industry, cross- functional work related to brand/product is where I am most comfortable. I found my focus in Luxury and contemporary leather goods focused brands. I work 360 degrees providing the best designed product balanced with a commercial and communication perspective in order to make it relevant on the market and creating an overall brand vision.
