About

Trained as a cabinetmaker in Switzerland, I built my career at the intersection of craftsmanship, design, and project leadership. I spent nine years in Mexico working as Product Manager at Felder Group and later founding my own furniture workshop - Gallus Furniture, which was recognized with a national design award in 2018. In 2024, I relocated to the United States and am now based in Chicago, where I work as a Project Manager at Obrist Interior America. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, mountain biking, and cooking—activities that keep me grounded, creative, and inspired.
