I can not say that I'm a product designer in the traditional sense of the word (although I came from a product design background), but that I'm a designer, a storyteller, an artist that is using the design process in order to engage the visuals and in order to better communicate my ideas, thoughts, fears and hopes. The everyday object also becomes part of my observation that then I take it to another level: observations became then part of a change that I evoke in order to rise people's awareness and sensitivity.started then to concentrate on a personal development exploring new media for communicating the designed ideas. I'm interested in exploring design objects as key characters in the short-stories that I create and that are then communicated through the exploration of moving images.

Work of art I would like to make

I would like to continue to explore the ‘woman’s happiness’ theme through the development of a new story and through the eye of a camera.
I think this subject has still a lot to be explored and I would like to continue to explore it through the surreal perspective that I’m tempted to take into my videos.
In 25 years’ time what would be different from now?? Will woman still be surrounded by the fears, hopes and dreams of the past??
Through the combination of story, image and sound I would like to focus both themes into the production of a new short-story that can be then displayed in a kind of a performance installation. Ideally the words of the story can be performed live; this will take the video into a much closer perspective for the exhibition/installation visitor’s experience.
I would like to make a more elaborated short-film, where I can explore the feelings and emotions of a solitary female: her visions, experiences, and thoughts... the way she looks at the world of today and of the future.
