Design Assistant & Warehouse Manager
January 2022 - March 2024
I was fortunate to work directly with the Head Designer and Owner of fferrone Design, Felicia Ferrone.
While working at fferrone Design I was responsible for Product Design, Graphic Design, Sales, Marketing, Quality Control, and Web Design.
During Milan Design week in April of 2023, Felicia Ferrone presented a self-initiated solo exhibition, STILL NOW. The Dinner, at the 15th century Villa Mirabello Foundation. STILL NOW served as a culmination and retrospective of my multidisciplinary research practice to date. It was held as part of Fuorisalone, the set of events distributed in different areas of Milan on the same days as the annual Salone Internazionale del Mobile.

Felicia Ferrone was commissioned by Mortlach, Diageo to create an iconic, limited edition glass that embodies the historic brand’s tenant ‘Audacious’ resulting in a hand-crafted glass. The two cylinders intersect allowing an experience of savoring the color of the whisky with your eyes, and from a technical perspective, the aromas open up as the whisky interacts against both walls of the glass while swirling. This glass - with essentially a void in the middle - strikes that balance of something audacious yet functional. The Cowie is unconventional in its expectations and challenges the archetype of a glass.
