A BAG NAMED DESIRE

The design process is a continuous journey of questions, challenges, and solutions. From idea, to sketch, to realized objet, each stage of this process must endeavor to answer the ‘why’. It is a responsibility I address in my work.

To design and create what is worthy to be made one must balance art with commerce. Continuously evolving and reworking design to meet the needs of each client. All the while being unique with beautiful and intelligent concepts that evolve naturally through the course of bringing an idea to life.

With more than twenty-five years of experience, I bring infinite passion and respect for the world of bag and accessories design. I have launched many successful businesses while working in the world’s most important centers of accessories design: New York, Florence, Paris, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. I bring a 360 degree experience in my work with excellence in design and product development, and which is supported by my extensive knowledge in material sciences, sourcing, technique and production.
