TL;DR
Italian Graphic Designer and Art Director based in London, specialising in brand identity, visual storytelling, and typography.

Selected clients include: White Claw, Canon, Cadbury, Allwyn, Sky UK, NowTV, Kingston Technology, HyperX, Oxford University Press, United Nations, Lafarge, and ProfessioneCasa.

A BIT MORE ABOUT MYSELF
I grew up in a city by the sea in northwest Italy. My interest in art and graphic design started early, I was playing with paint and ink while everyone else dreamed of becoming the next Roberto Baggio. I later studied and graduated with a BA in Advertising Art Direction from Accademia di Comunicazione in Milan.
In Milan, I had the fortune and privilege to begin my career in advertising agencies like Bates, TBWA, and Arnold Worldwide, working alongside talented creative directors. It was there that I developed my creative thinking and sharpened my design craft.
Driven by a passion for design and art, I moved to the UK, where I worked for a multinational tech and gaming company on B2C and B2B projects, and at Sky Creative Agency on key art and creative campaigns. I continue to work with national and international clients as a freelance Graphic Designer and Art Director, and I currently work full-time at VCCP as a Senior Designer.
The variety of skills and experiences I've gained over the years, working closely with mentors and creative teams, has taught me how to develop ideas that travel seamlessly across media, a critical ability in today's shift from traditional to digital communication. I believe it’s an exciting time to work in the creative industry, where ideas can come from anywhere and turn into anything.
My interests focus mainly on graphic design, but not exclusively. You’ll often find me practising printmaking techniques, swimming, or watching a lot of movies. But not all at the same time.
