Hi, I’m Fiorella. My journey as a designer has taken me across continents, from the romantic streets of Milan, where I honed my craft at Politecnico di Milano, to the fast-paced design hubs of the U.S., where I earned my MFA at UIUC. Along the way, I had the privilege of working at Kelly Wearstler’s renowned studio in West Hollywood. Immersed in her world of bold luxury, I gained invaluable insights into creating iconic, statement-making designs while refining my technical skills and artistic voice.

These experiences shaped my belief that design is not just about aesthetics—it’s about telling stories that resonate. This philosophy inspired me to create T30MPLE, an app that reintroduces the ancient Chinese wisdom of Nayin to a global audience, and ENOTI, a brand that combines elegance and advanced ballistic protection to create modern, functional luxury bags.

Through each project, I strive to blend the past and present, creating designs that are functional, meaningful, and deeply personal. Every step of my journey has reinforced my passion for crafting stories through design—and I’m excited to keep evolving.
