About

As a Lead Transportation Designer specializing in exterior design. I bring extensive experience in both production cars and motorcycles, as well as advanced mobility projects and industrial design. Passionate, hardworking, and ambitious. I constantly strive to achieve the best results on every project, pushing both myself and my team to exceed expectations. Additionally, I find great satisfaction in mentoring young designers or students. I believe it fosters a valuable exchange of knowledge and experience for all parties involved.
