I was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1977. My Italian background brought me to Rome in 1998 and that is where I later graduated from Istituto Europeo di Design in product design. After that I worked in Milan for a while until I met my husband in 2003 and moved with him to Zimbabwe. The kids where born in Tbilisi Georgia and grew up partly in South Africa. Right now we live in Maputo Mozambique.
