RedDAO Digital Fashion Prize — 1st Place
VCA × Draup Virtual Fashion Residency
Open to WebXR · Arch Viz · Brand Identity projects
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. Across 3 cities, 2 studios, and nearly a decade of
independent practice.
The through-line is always the same: spatial thinking is the oldest form
of human sense-making, and it maps onto every new medium — physical,
digital, or otherwise. 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.

decentralize
Most virtual spaces feel empty because they were designed without spatial thinking.
decentralize brings architectural discipline to digital space — the understanding
that space isn't just seen, it's experienced.
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.

Virtually Ever After
Architecture is experienced, not just seen. Static renders communicate
dimensions — VEA communicates presence. Clients feel the space
before it's built.
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.

Scaffold
Architecture has always been hostage to physics. Scaffold removes every constraint.
Immersive virtual museum housing 50+ architectural designs
freed from material constraints. A browser-based 3D environment
exploring spatial form without gravity, weather, or scarcity.

If fashion defines identity, what does identity mean when the body is optional?
