Tell us a little about your background in design (education, experience, etc)
I grew up in Tel Aviv and from a very young age, I was always attracted to creation. I spent a lot of time painting and sculpting and that’s what shaped and made me the designer I am today.
I studied at Shenkar High School of Engineering and Design majoring in Architecture and Interior Design. From day one I felt I had come to the right place and right after graduation I started my career as a freelance designer and planner.

How would you describe your personal design style?
My style combines a high aesthetic sense, spatial vision and attention to the smallest details. This is what connects the art, culture, mind and needs of the client, and creates a unique and up-to-date style that is up to the spirit of the time.

Where does your design inspiration come from?
Inspiration for me can come from anything: an old object that someone left on the street, art, archaeological sites, and sometimes even comes in the dream I had.

If you could offer one piece of advice when it comes to design schemes, what would it be?
Do not be afraid to choose colours or textures that you like for fear that they will be a passing trend. If you design properly then the design will be timeless.

How important are The International Design & Architecture Awards?
Recognition for a designer in any field is what nourishes the passion and desire to continue creating. Without it, the designer will not be able to exist

What was your favourite project to work on and why?
״Segev Art״ restaurant by the famous Israeli chef Segev Moshe because it is his flagship restaurant, and his life in fact. The process was very personal, and we really got into each other’s souls to succeed in realizing the space he dreamed of, where he could serve the best and most beautiful dishes he could.

Which products/services could you not live without when designing?
Sketchup, vray AutoCAD, and my Mac.

What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months?
Continue to enrich myself, to grow and develop, and be the best designer I can be. I think design is an area where you never stop evolving and learning and discovering new things both professionally and personally.

Final thoughts; tell us a little more about yourself and your daily
inspirations:
Your most treasured possession? My family
Your favourite holiday destination? Rome
Your favourite hotel? Four Seasons
Your favourite book, film & song? Book: The Hobbit or There and Back Again, Movie: Rocky, Song: Stairway to heaven
Your favourite food and drink? Hamburger and cola
Your favourite way to spend an afternoon? Skateboarding
If you weren’t a designer, what would you be? Guitar player or a Chef
Anything else interesting? I always remember in my youth, at a time when my mother would change the house every Monday and Thursday – all the furniture in the house changed frequently, and visitors used to say that a visit a few weeks apart felt like a completely different house. My mother’s agenda not only affected her residence, but her creative inclinations were an opening for my acquaintance with the world of design. From a young age, I loved to paint and sculpt.
