Neokraft marked the beginning of my professional design career, where I developed a strong foundation in product design and manufacturing. I worked extensively with metal, designing decorative lighting and home accessories while gaining hands-on experience in material behavior, fabrication techniques, detailing, and production processes. Collaborating closely with craftsmen and manufacturers gave me a practical understanding of how ideas evolve into finished products. This early exposure to design, prototyping, and manufacturing laid the groundwork for my multidisciplinary approach and continues to influence the way I design today.
