About
I’m an automotive designer specialized in exterior digital modeling, with over 10 years of experience developing high-end design solution, from early sketches to A-Class surfaces. I’m an expert in Autodesk Alias, SubD modeling, and real-time visualization, with a proven track record collaborating with premium brands such as NIO, Audi, Lamborghini, VW, Apollo, De Tomaso, and others. I bring strong team leadership, agile project delivery, and a collaborative approach with design and engineering teams. I’m a self-motivated, confident, proactive, and hardworking professional with in-depth knowledge of the automotive development process. I enjoy pushing myself to tackle challenges, even under tight deadlines, always striving to achieve exceptional standards while maintaining the perfect balance between quality and speed.
