I am an interior architect and lighting specialist. I shape light and create custom lighting solutions for demanding architectural, artistic and industrial environments — projects where lighting is expected to transform the space and the experience, not merely illuminate it. My work is built on close collaboration with clients and cross‑disciplinary experts.
At AICCI, we design and build luminaires that grow from bold ideas and are refined to meet the exact requirements of each project. Alongside bespoke solutions, we offer the AICCI lighting collection, where every detail is intentional. I understand the realities of design and manufacturing — and I carry a vision with precision all the way to implementation.
