I design interiors that respond to the people who inhabit them.
Each project is a search for balance between function
and emotion, precision and atmosphere.
Drawing from my experience in hospitality,
retail and residential design,
I study how people interact
with space, translating their movements
and habits
into environments that feel coherent, comfortable and alive.

The project explores how light and color can shape spatial perception and guide movement. The concept was to create an immersive retail environment that reflects Nike’s dynamic identity, transforming the act of shopping into a sensory experience. Gradient lighting, transparent volumes, and flexible lounge areas define a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.
The flagship store is designed as a multifunctional space where retail meets community. Lounge areas with soft seating and coffee tables invite visitors to pause, interact and engage with the brand beyond the act of purchase.
Durable surfaces and subtle warm finishes support this dual character, balancing performance with comfort.
The rainbow installation serves as the spatial anchor of the project, translating movement and identity into a physical experience. Its chromatic sequence symbolizes inclusivity, energy and flow, guiding visitors intuitively through the space while creating a memorable visual statement.
