One studio. Three disciplines.
One system of orchestration.

He was a Partner at ITALIABRANDGROUP until its acquisition by EY in 2017, then Chief Design Officer at EY Studio for Consumer Product, Retail and Luxury. In Saudi Arabia he shaped the citizen experience and spatial style of the concept for the new service centres of Gov.sa, the Saudi government services system; in Dubai he was part of EY's pitch for the Museum of the Future visitor experience.
