Main message

I design objects, identity systems, and spatial concepts for brands and studios that require more than mere decoration. My work begins with research and culminates in a tangible form—whether it’s a ceramic series, packaging, brand identity, furniture, or exhibition environments. I am deeply concerned with how something looks, how it is made, and why it exists. I am open to commissions and long-term collaborations with clients who value precision and meaning in design.

Structure of a Case Study

Title + short concept lineBrief / what was requiredCore ideaFinal work (main visuals)Process (research, sketches, 3D, tests)Outcome — what was delivered and what it does

Example case: Cosmos in Texture

Title — Cosmos in Texture. A series of ceramic plates based on planetary surfaces.Brief— Design a collection of objects where each piece possesses a distinct character and scale.Idea— Read the Solar System as a set of textures and proportions, then translate each planet into a plate.Final work— Eight plates with individual surfaces, proportions, and visual weight.Process— Planet research → surface logic → 3D modeling → AI-assisted texture studies → final visualization of the set.Outcome — A capsule collection where every object is recognizable as an individual piece and coherent as a series.
