CV

I am a young designer with a degree in Fashion Design, driven by a passion for contemporary jewelry and material experimentation. My projects are always driven by a strong concept and the desire to spark a new way of seeing in those who engage with them, inspiring conversation, debate, or emotion. Since the beginning of my studies, I’ve been interested in sustainability, seeking low-impact design solutions through innovative techniques and materials that reflect a more conscious and responsible creative practice.

Concept

Concept

“Biogenic Identities” explores the relationship between humans, matter, and the subjective perception of time, offering a reflection on the need to slow down in a world increasingly driven by haste and instant results. This dialogue emerges through an analysis of the effects of globalization on fast-paced social and production systems, which impact individual identity and disrupt natural cycles. A slower, more contemplative life, rooted in the awareness of being one with the natural and material world, fosters a transformation of human identity. It invites a return to natural roots and a deeper understanding of our organic selves, allowing us to rediscover the value of our actions and the meaning of our existence in harmony with the ecosystem.

The project takes shape in a jewelry collection featuring bioplastic fragments made from oyster shells, marked with frozen temporal moments through the cyanotype photographic process.

These are paired with rigid, geometric structures in oxidized silver, evoking the contrast between speed and slowness.
