Scenography projects

Sustainable Temporary Installations

I design bespoke, sustainable scenography for a wide range of events: exhibitions, corporate events, dinners, forums and festivals. I love taking on new challenges.
My approach combines spatial design, object creation, sourcing and a curatorial eye, for temporary installations with a low environmental impact.
