Architect. Working at the intersection of physical space,
virtual environments, blockchain infrastructure, and early-stage technology.
Based between Luxembourg, Milan, and Istanbul.
About
Available for collaborations
I trained as an architect. Since 2017, I've operated almost entirely in
spaces that didn't yet exist — virtual environments, decentralized systems,
spatial interfaces for the web. The discipline of architecture turned out
to be a surprisingly good lens for all of it: everything is about
how you structure space, whether that space is physical,
digital, or somewhere between.
I co-founded decentralize, a spatial web design studio in Milan,
and Virtually Ever After, an architectural visualization platform
in Luxembourg. The work spans immersive WebXR environments, blockchain-
authenticated digital assets, brand identities, and real-time 3D systems
for architecture.
I'm drawn to the earliest, strangest phase of new industries — when the
vocabulary doesn't exist yet and you have to invent it as you go.
Studios
decentralize
Spatial web design practice operating at the intersection of
architecture, fashion, art, and technology. Specializing in
immersive virtual environments, browser-based 3D systems, and
blockchain-authenticated digital assets. Treats virtual space
as an autonomous domain — not a simulation of the physical.
WebXR
Three.js
NFT
Digital Fashion
Metaverse Arch
Virtually Ever After
Architectural visualization engine based in Luxembourg.
Transforms architecture and spatial concepts into immersive
real-time 3D digital experiences. Works at the edge of
brand identity, spatial storytelling, and interactive design
for architecture and creative studios.
