Portfolio
Here are some of my projects. Visit my website for further information and to see my portfolio.
Voglia consists of two wirelessly interconnected pieces of jewellery both of which hide within them a little camera and screen.
The system allows people far from their partners to send little details of their bodies in streaming video. Users can compensate for the absence of physical intimacy by reliving intense moments with the partner and, at the same time, enjoying an original erotic experience.
This app is for those who feel the need to break free from the shackles of daily routine; who need a rush of adrenaline; who need to live strong emotional situations, on the verge of illegality, where ambition, honour, bravery and fear take control. The project aims to create a community of hard-core individuals who, through a series of challenges, push themselves and each other to the limit.
