About

I design where craftsmanship meets code — creating vehicles, experiences, and stories that redefine how people feel technology. Founder of Rocket Supreme and Scott & Irwin, shaping the future of experiential products and services. My work moves between the physical and digital — from handcrafted vehicles to immersive brand experiences. I’m interested in how design can turn complex ideas into something people can touch, feel, and remember. Over the last fifteen years, I’ve built projects for Mercedes-Benz, Riversimple, Jaguar Land Rover, San Miguel, and the F1 Exhibition, transforming concepts into real, interactive experiences that connect emotion with innovation. Alongside my studio work, I collaborate with universities as a lecturer and mentor, helping the next generation of designers bridge creativity with strategy and purpose. Teaching keeps me grounded — it’s where I test new ways of thinking and share the belief that design is not just form, but intention made visible. I’m drawn to projects that combine craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling — things that feel serene, intelligent, and timeless. I believe the future of luxury lies in the harmony between the hand and the algorithm, where innovation serves emotion and every detail carries meaning. “When technology learns to feel, craftsmanship finds its future.” If you’re exploring how to bring emotion, design, and technology together, I’d love to connect.

  • Lecturer for PPD (Project for Personal Development) at IED Barcelona

    As an instructor for third-year Transportation Design students, I facilitate their first experience as a studio design team. Guiding them through various stages, from mood board concepts to the final definition of exterior design, interior design, and color & trim, I act as their Design Director. However, all final design decisions are made democratically by the students through voting, with my guidance. This approach allows students to discover their individual capabilities and emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, even though they may not be the ones physically drawing.
