This portfolio is dedicated to Lorenzo Buffa, who I will always remember as a creative genius. His resourcefulness and willingness to go the extra mile to make things just right has pushed me while I put this body of work together. In times when the process feels daunting and tedious, I remember the moments he would just figure out the next step. The memories of him - at his desk, locked-in, poking around determined to find solutions, and without delay - are motivating and comforting. He would always find a way, whatever it took to bring his vision to life. He would teach himself new skills, softwares and techniques with passion and gumption. Lorenzo had exceptional taste, craftsmanship and quality standards, down to the finest detail. I have so much to thank Lorenzo for, I undeniably would not be where I am today had I not been given the opportunity to intern for, and later work alongside him at Analog Watch Co.
From the bottom of my heart - thank you, friend, and may god rest your soul.
