Tell us a little about your background in the sector:

My background in design is yet to be defined, I can say that I am still growing. I consider myself a young designer, I have several yacht concepts designed, which have been talked about a lot in the press, but none yet realized.

Nautical design for me is a great passion, every day I try to show my talent and my great imagination and ability to design extraordinary yachts.

How would you describe your design ethos?

In every project I insert a detail or a line that has a sense of novelty; I don’t want to be trivial or repetitive. I try to have a profile that stands out from all the other designers.

In what direction do you feel that design is moving towards in a general sense?

In the marine industry, design I consider it to be at a standstill, few shipyards are willing to dare on innovative designs. My concept is to give an impetus or shake-up to boatyards.

Name five key themes to consider when approaching design in the future.

Innovation
Beauty
Emotion
Eco sustainability
Clean energy

What projects are you currently working on?

I am currently working with boatyard in Viareggio on the development of a new 50m yacht model under 500 Gt.
The exterior lines have already been developed, the design is very classic, the silouette is very fluid and harmonious.
The project is expected to be unveiled at the Palm Beach Boat Show in March.

What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months?

I am working on two major projects, the 50m for a boatyard in Viareggio, and a 13.7m dinghy for a boatyard in Milan.
