About Me
SIMON PALAU
During my ten years in the design profession, I’ve traversed a diverse career path. Half of this journey was spent within technical centers and small businesses closely associated with industry giants. My roles have spanned the realms of both designer and 3D modeler, offering me a comprehensive view of the design world. The remaining years of my career have been marked by a freelancing lifestyle, taking me across Europe and Asia. It was in the vibrant and dynamic Asian design landscape where my skills as a stylist saw the most significant growth. This period was characterized by relentless work and unwavering commitment.
