About Me

Born in 1988 in Benevento (Italy).

She studied Architecture in Naples at the University Federico II, enlarging her skills with a master degree, with highest scoring in urban design focused on urban renewals and wetlands reassessment. Later, she attended a Master in modelling and rendering in Milan with a thesis on the “Sound of Silence” in Architecture.

The specific feature of the studies combined with a genuine creative lead her to travel and photograph, in particular architecture, with a keen eye for detail and to the setting, in order to grasp not only the structure but also the soul of places.

She loves arts in general, particularly the music and light design, animated by deep sense, as a challenge, to merge with architecture.

Her personal focus is on environmental sustainability and urban regeneration (parks, squares and spaces for social design).
Beside this, she gives particular attention to the recovery construction (functional adaptations and usage enlargement), the sustainable design of buildings and the historical sites with reference not only to the design of outdoor spaces but also to the restoration of them.

Also, she is involved in a multi cultural team, working on projects concerning hospitality and interior design, shaping furnitures “ad hoc”.
