I quit Wall Street to sculpt kitchens.

Not because I didn't understand value—but because I understood it too well.

Most people see an IKEA kitchen and think: affordable, functional, forgettable. I see raw material. A system engineered for transformation. Something waiting to be elevated into sculpture.

I spent years in investment banking and real estate development, learning that luxury isn't about price tags—it's about irreplaceability. Then I learned to work with plaster, with texture, with light. I learned that transformation is a form of alchemy, and that the best foundations are the ones people underestimate.

So I built NEWTÓN. A company that turns IKEA systems into sculptural statements—or creates them from nothing at all. That proves you don't need heritage or high prices to build something unforgettable. Just vision, craft, and refusal to compromise.

My clients don't want kitchens. They want spaces that can't be replicated, materials that tell stories, surfaces that feel inevitable.

In 2027, I'm running NEWTÓN from a sailboat crossing the Atlantic.

And after a decade measuring risk on trading floors and mediating real estate deals at a notary office, I can promise you this: the only real risk is settling for something equal.

There is no equal.
