  • A journey through my works

    This short video summarize some of the projects completed during my first decade of works.
     

  • Strategic and Creative. Loyal and Goal Driven.

    It's the challenge that motivates me, the pride to see a dream come to life.

    I believe in what I do and dedicate all my energies to what I love.

  • My Mantra has always been: It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

  • My Passions:

     

    I have always loved the freedom you experience when you ride. I dream when the music vibrates inside of me. I have always loved to build. My ultimate goal is to combine all these passions together.
