As an experiential artist, I was commissioned to bridge the gap between Montblanc’s precision and Ferrari’s automotive heritage. I delivered a luxury brand activation that elevated the product narrative and drove deep guest engagement.

Montblanc x Ferrari Stilema SP3 Launch; Luxury Brand Activation

Acting as an experiential artist for Dolce & Gabbana London, I provided a high-end guest experience by transforming iconic accessories into bespoke works of art at stores including Harrods, Bond Street, and Sloane Street. This luxury retail activation served as a sophisticated engagement tool, deepening client affinity through personalised, couture-level service.
