8+ years shaping ideas and bursting them into life.
Illustration, campaign, brand identity, creative concepts that can live anywhere.
Aesthetics with a purpose, creativity with a meaning.
Or none of the above.

Art Director heart with an illustrator’s hand.

Made in Lecce, trained in Milan, inspired by everywhere.
After 8+ years as a 9-to-5 art director, I traded office walls
for the open air of freelance life. Now creating and illustrating
from anywhere with a wi-fi connection.
Getting my juice flowing from killer aesthetics, too much food,
a teetering nightstand of books, and whatever
messes with my brain in the best way.
