Currently he is working in the product development department of the design factory Alessi. His creativity investigates the boundaries between Art and Science, mixing different cultural inputs to embrace complexity and contradictions of reality. From virtual design to material construction he explores the use of digital tools and algorithms to generate speculative scenarios as
