About
Hello,
I am a technical designer with a strong background in bench joinery and bespoke furniture manufacturing, with over 15 years of hands-on experience in high-end woodworking, retail interiors, and custom joinery projects across Europe and the UK.
I started my career in traditional workshops in Italy, working on luxury furniture and high-detail interior projects for private clients and hospitality environments. Over the years, I progressed into industrial joinery and retail fit-out projects, gaining full experience in fabrication, finishing, and on-site installation.
In recent years, I have specialised in SolidWorks, creating 3D models, assemblies, and detailed manufacturing drawings for bespoke joinery and retail interiors. My workshop experience allows me to design with a strong focus on real-world manufacturability, efficiency, and precision.
I combine practical craftsmanship with technical CAD design to deliver solutions that are not only visually accurate but also fully buildable in real production environments.
