Mad gardener, ardent beachcomber
Storytelling has always been at the heart of who I am. My first love is photography: through the lens I discovered the power of visual communication. That passion led me into the world of food styling, where I spent many years working on TV commercials and photography campaigns, collaborating with top agency creatives from around the world. From there, my work naturally expanded into the art of tabletop prop styling.

For me, styling is about more than arranging objects — it’s about building a story that resonates.
