I take most of my inspiration for residential interior designs from magazines and websites, but also from my travels. I work as a blogger (you can find my blog on www.italianbark.com, here you can find a lot about the style I love ) besides as an architect, so I use to see many interior blogs and online magazines, from Italy but also from outside (I love Scandinavian design, but also Japanese, Brazilian, Australian ones). I can get lots of new ideas from them. My inspiration for retail concepts come from various sources: websites as well, but also from random ideas I can get by looking at a logo, or a colour palette, or even just from the name of the shop or the interior I'm going to design.

I love the very first part of design, the moodboarding, that's all about inspiration and colour/material. But I love also the very last part of a project, the detail design. I like to solve "problems" and to think about practical solutions.

My design secret is to add an unexpected element in every interior in a very balanced background, for example just a small colour accent in a neutral interior, or some hidden elements.
