Tell us about yourself.

I’m an artist and designer at Que Design Studio. I seek to share beautiful things with others through my creations. I also collaborate on a number of philanthropic projects with voluntary organisations close to my heart, and coordinate various social media campaigns for Valletta 2018..

This work takes up most of my time and energy, and therefore, more than just my profession it is also a way of life. My creations can be viewed at www.que.com.mt
