In 2017, he was awarded a scholarship to pursue Interior and Living Design at Domus Academy in Milan, where he graduated with distinction, further refining his design approach.

“My time at Domus Academy was a turning point: it challenged me to rethink design beyond objects, focusing on space, emotion, and narrative.”
