Chief Design Advisor and Industrial Designer specializing in delivering strategic differentiation and sustained growth for a contemporary market.

Expertise

As the business environment continues to evolve, with many of the world’s leading companies rapidly being overtaken by innovative newcomers, the imperative for innovation has never been more urgent. Developments in artificial intelligence, increased market volatility, and the escalating environmental crisis are accelerating these changes.
     Despite this urgency, many leaders find themselves struggling to effectively drive innovation. Having led an extensive career in industrial design and creative direction since 1999, we have observed firsthand the patterns and missteps many businesses have taken. Often, immense investments in new products result in only marginal improvements that fail to differentiate from competitors.
     Our mission is to assist companies in setting and achieving bold, ambitious goals. With a wealth of experience collaborating with senior executives across diverse sectors, we have guided innovation, design, and development projects that have addressed a wide range of challenges.
     We partner with CEOs and business leaders aiming to expand their ventures through superior products and services. By supporting strategy formulation, portfolio innovation, and the development of teams, processes, and cultures, we help businesses maximize their IP's potential, spin off new ventures, and accelerate growth. Together, we design and launch groundbreaking solutions that stand out in the marketplace.
