How important are The International Design & Architecture Awards? :
The International Design & Architecture Awards represent far more than recognition. They provide an opportunity to present our work on an international platform, exchange ideas with some of the industry’s most respected designers, and gain valuable exposure beyond our region.
Being shortlisted is already a meaningful achievement, and I am truly honoured to have my work recognised by such a respected panel. For me, this experience is not only about celebrating one project, but also about continuing to grow, challenge myself, and share G Light’s design vision with a global audience.
What projects are you currently working on? :
I am currently working on several high-end residential projects while continuing to develop G Light’s distinctive design identity through custom lighting, bespoke furniture, and signature design elements.
Looking ahead, one of my goals is to expand G Light beyond interior design by launching an online store featuring original pieces designed by our studio. Having our own woodworking factory allows us to transform ideas into carefully crafted products while maintaining exceptional quality and attention to detail.
I also look forward to participating in more international design awards and collaborations, as I see them as an opportunity to continue learning, share our work, and introduce G Light to a wider global audience.
What was your favourite project to work on and why? :
It is difficult to choose just one project because every project has its own story. However, the projects I enjoy the most are the ones where the client truly trusts me and gives me the freedom to create.
When a client believes in my vision, I feel an even greater sense of responsibility to exceed their expectations. That trust allows me to explore ideas more deeply and create spaces that genuinely reflect my design philosophy.
I believe the strongest projects are created through collaboration, but they also require trust. When that balance exists, the final result feels authentic, timeless, and true to both the client and G Light.
What was your most challenging project to work on and why? :
One of the most challenging projects I worked on was a villa where the interior architecture had many angled and misaligned walls. At the time, there was a strong focus on creating dramatic exterior forms, often without giving enough attention to how the interior spaces would function.
As a result, the layout was difficult to use efficiently, and the homeowner had been unable to fully develop the house for almost seven years because the spaces felt fragmented and impractical.
The challenge was not simply to redesign the interiors, but to work with the existing architecture and transform those limitations into functional, elegant spaces without losing the character of the home. It required careful planning, creative problem-solving, and attention to every detail.
Looking back, it became one of the most rewarding projects because it reminded me that great design is not only about creating something beautiful, but also about solving complex problems in a thoughtful way.
Which products/services could you not live without when designing? E.g. Lighting companies, furniture companies :
Exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality materials are the foundation of every project I design. I rely on skilled craftsmen and trusted manufacturers to transform bespoke ideas into reality with precision and attention to detail.
Lighting is equally essential, as it has the power to transform the atmosphere of a space and highlight the design exactly as it was envisioned. Custom woodwork, natural stone, bespoke furniture, and carefully selected finishes all play a vital role in creating timeless interiors.
Rather than relying on specific brands, I focus on choosing the right products and partners that best support the vision behind each project.
What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months? :
Over the next twelve months, my goal is to continue growing G Light through inspiring projects and greater international exposure. I also look forward to participating in more design awards and launching G Light’s online store to offer our products to a wider audience.
Your most treasured possession? :
I love what I do, and I feel lucky that my passion is also my career. I enjoy creating new designs, and every new project excites me.
Your favourite holiday destination? :
Anywhere with beautiful scenery, luxury, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Your favourite food and drink? :
Food: Italian cuisine
Drink:coffee
Your favourite way to spend an afternoon? :
It depends on the day. I might be with my family, working, in meetings, exploring new places, or simply relaxing.
If you weren’t in this sector, what would your alternative profession be?:
Probably a children’s fashion designer. I’ve always loved children’s fashion.
