<h2>What are some of your favourite buildings or interior spaces and why?</h2>
Many of my favourite buildings are in Italy, particularly in Florence. I remember the first time I saw the Duomo and it quite literately took my breath away. The craftsmanship, materiality and sheer manpower it took to construct, in a time period prior to modern technologies, is extremely impressive. The intricacies of the building are so great that every time I look at it I discover something new. Now that is great design!

<h2>What materials or fabrics do you like working with the most and why?</h2>
I love mixing a variety of materials together, like juxtaposing raw finishes with plush textures. Combining different materials adds a greater sense of depth to a space and provides a more interesting sensory experience for the user.
