About me

I have graduated

from a Master in Digital Art at the Norwich University College of the

Art, whilst working full time with people with learning

disabilities.

Master Degrees require the abilty to define, plan and execute

projects. They require motivation indipendent thinking, self assesment,

target setting energy and focus to finish complex and difficult tasks

and that is why althought.

I am a strong believer in art as a

tool to raise self esteem as well as an excellent way to communicate

and express individuality and although I studied for five

years back in Italy within a traditional fine art school I find digital

technology to be an exciting medium for creativity. I have explored

many different ways of presenting my ideas and am always excited to use

new tools and am keen to keep abreast of developments within the

industry.

I have good experience of working with

disadvantaged clients but also a passion for art and all creative

aspects of life. I have taught courses at the Art School, at Wensum

Lodge college and the Norwich Art Centre and found this experience

rewarding as I love working with people and enjoy sharing my knowledge

with others.

Previously to the Master my role

was multimedia designer, developing training courses for a company

called Resource Initiatives. This position required me to manage a

project from start to finish. I had to meet the clients listen to their

ideas interpret them and deploy them in the required format. My work

had to be creative, interesting and accessible to all within the field

the training was required. I had to make interesting and entertaining

courses which could potentially be extremely dull.

In 2008 I

received a bursary from the NSAD now NUCA which entitled me to

participate to the SWIM

in the Digital World seminar, an 18-day course organised by the

SWIM Consortium made up by Sciencescom, Audencia, School of Management

(FR), the Norwich University College of the Arts (UK), the Babes-Bolyai

University (RO) and the Berlin University of the Arts (GER). The

objective of the seminar is to provide participants with extensive

knowledge of the opportunities existing in the film and audiovisual

industry thanks to the digital technology applied to this

sector.

On a more personal level, I practice the Brazilian sport of Capoeira

and enjoy a bit of Swing Dancing as well as Swimming and Cycling. I am

also passionate about art, cooking and every form of

creativity.
