Design in the World
How designed objects, spaces, and systems shape the way we move through everyday life — and why paying attention to them changes how you see everything.

/ABOUT ME
I am a very visual person, lucky enough to have turned that trait into a career, specifically as a visual designer. Based in one of the most beautiful cities in the world (as pointed, I am very visual), Edinburgh, Scotland. Over the last few years, my career has been quite focused on design systems, but I keep exploring and digging into the whole design world because, as we know, inspiration can come from anywhere (not that I can help myself when it comes to gathering more design knowledge). I used to say that design is like a puzzle... but time passes, the world evolves, and so does perspective, so nowadays I see it more as "trying to understand the reason behind every single pixel". Anyhow, I suppose both still rely on that spark—better known as the "click moment."

Design in My Life
A personal reflection on how design became less of a job title and more of a way of seeing — and what that shift has cost and given me.
The Value of Design
Design is often justified by aesthetics or user happiness metrics. But its real value runs deeper — and understanding that changes how you argue for it in any room.
