ABOUT ME

My story.

I completed an internship with VUHL Automotive in Mexico, focusing on designing and improving interior elements while experimenting with innovative materials for future models. Despite the pandemic shortening the internship, I collaborated closely with the founders, learning from them and gaining hands-on experience with materials like carbon fiber and a deeper understanding of how design integrates with brand DNA. I earned a Master’s degree from the highly selective Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan, which admits only 22 students globally. Mentored by Lucas Colombo, former Lead Interior Designer at Mercedes-Benz, I understood the importance of creativity, attention to detail while striving for innovative design solutions. Our Master’s thesis, developed in collaboration with Lamborghini and Ducati, was recognized for its excellence, with my team receiving the highest distinction.

After completing my Master’s, I explored freelance opportunities in Switzerland and co-founded a brand in the wine industry. I handled all aspects of design and marketing, including a collaboration with a major music event organizer, where I led the visual direction. These projects enhanced my skills in market research, trend analysis, and creating compelling presentations.

I went to Richemont’s Creative Academy, where only 20 designers worldwide are selected annually. The Academy offered an incredible opportunity to dive deep into watch and accessory design while learning from the maisons within the Richemont group. This intensive program sharpened my eye for detail and my ability to translate brand values into innovative designs.

After completing the Academy, I had the privilege of undertaking an internship at Jaeger-LeCoultre, where I worked closely with Lionel Favre, the Product Design Director at Jaeger-LeCoultre. During this time, I contributed to multiple projects that were successfully presented to and approved by the Richemont board. This collaboration offered profound insights into the brand’s DNA, allowing me to gain a deeper appreciation for the precision and artistry required in each creation. It also reinforced the importance of pushing creative boundaries while staying true to Jaeger-LeCoultre's identity.

What sets me apart is my mix of creativity, technical skills, and an eye for detail. I thrive in team settings and bring a proactive approach to every task, whether it’s brainstorming new concepts, supporting design teams with renders, or diving into market analysis to uncover the next big trend. My skills range from sketching, presentation skills, strong team work, proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Rhinoceros, KeyShot, as well Virtual Reality 3D design in mix with sketching digitally and I’m always looking to refine my skills and bring fresh perspectives to the table.

With a strong foundation in design and a passion for watchmaking, I’m ready to take on new challenges, push creative boundaries, and contribute to shaping the future of the industry.
