Are you a designer? Why or why not?

I focus on learning, creating, and communicating through different mediums. Whether that makes me a designer or not is not up to me. 

One word to describe your take on design:

Behavioral

The last thing you made:

PRADA in Plaster 

The next thing you want to make:

Fashion Accessories + Furniture

A designed object you adore:

IKEA Pencils



A designed object you can’t stand the sight of:

Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye

A moment of pure creative joy:

When I am learning. There is always a bridge between X and Design.

When we say “designing the future,” what comes to mind?

Character. I always like when there is a sharp contrast between the designed object and the space, a kind of interruption of the environment. I usually think of that through size, color, and materiality. A good example would be like placing a PRATONE Couch in the middle of St. Peter’s Basilica. 

If you could show your work to anyone in the world, who would it be?

Frank Ocean



Your aesthetic embodied as a...
