Meet the Team
Nodos was born in the summer of 2007 as a graphic design studio passionate about creating purposeful and unconventional visual identities. What began with logos, branding, and identity creation soon transformed into something bigger.
Over time, we came to understand that design doesn't end with a logo or begin with a wall: everything is connected. Space, brand, materials, experience, and the story behind each project are all part of the same language. We started by working on bar and restaurant spaces, and over time we expanded into the residential, commercial, and healthcare sectors.
Today at Nodos, we design by merging branding with interior design to build complete experiences, brands that are lived, spaces that are felt, identities that transcend the visual and become tangible emotions.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR / CO-FOUNDER
I have a restless mind that can't stop creating. I find inspiration in travel, in food that evokes fond memories, and in places that envelop you with their atmosphere. I love nature and the materials the earth provides; I firmly believe that everything has a second life. I love restoring antique furniture or transforming broken or forgotten objects into functional or decorative pieces.
I'm drawn to classic and vintage styles, understated colors, and textures with a story. Although every now and then I like to think outside the box and do something completely crazy, one of those projects that breaks the rules but feels good.
On the construction site, I'm usually up on a ladder, installing lamps or hanging decorations (yes, I'm totally out of style there, 100% Bob the Builder). I'm passionate about painting, creating textures, and experimenting with any idea that pops into my head.
Music inspires me, black is my favorite color, and olive green appears when I'm in a really good mood. But what I enjoy most about my work is the finishing touch: seeing how spaces come alive with the furniture and objects we design. That part where everything falls into place… the project finally breathes, and the client smiles.
I won't leave in peace until it's perfect.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR / CO-FOUNDER
For me, designing is a way of shaping emotions and experiences, because both a house and a brand can transform the way we live, feel, and present ourselves to the world.
A space, a brand, or an experience only truly comes to life when it connects with those who interact with it. My work consists of shaping those connections: creating places and concepts with soul, where aesthetics, intention, and emotion coexist in perfect harmony.
For over fifteen years I've worked in interior design and branding, two worlds that, for me, are part of the same thing: the art of building identities. Sometimes that identity manifests itself in a space, and other times in a brand; in both cases, the process is the same: listen, imagine, and transform.
I'm passionate about bringing the wildest ideas into the realm of possibility. Playing with textures, light, materials, and visual narratives until everything fits together naturally.
Behind that creativity lies a method, planning, structure, and follow-up that ensures each project reaches its best version.
