About

I’m a 22-year-old Master’s student in Car and Transportation Design at SPD Milano. My journey into design started when I was a kid, watching my uncle sketch cars. That moment stuck with me, and before I knew it, I was diving into sketching and exploring the world of design myself. I first studied Product Design in Romania, where I built the foundation form, function, and user experience. In 2024, I completed my thesis on reimagining the BMW Z1 through a retro-futuristic design approach, a project where I taught myself 3D modelling, rendering, animation, and even built a working remote-controlled scale model, complete with VR visualization. Wanting to specialize further, I moved to Italy to focus entirely on automotive design and immerse myself in a creative, industry-driven environment. Now based in Milano, I’m focused entirely on car design. I work across sketching, Photoshop rendering, 3D, and clay, always aiming to bring bold, timeless ideas to life. At SPD, I’ve worked on projects in collaboration with Lamborghini, Ducati, and Zagato, and I’m constantly pushing my creative limits to design the icons of tomorrow.
