About me

I'm a multi-disciplinary Italian designer and art director with a natural inclination for beautiful typography and lateral thinking. After spending 11 years working in London, I am now based in Italy, bringing a global perspective and deep expertise to every project I undertake.

With over 20 years of experience, I have navigated confidently between Creative CRM and Branding. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with big integrated communication agencies, small design studios, and personal clients.
Over the years, I've collaborated on some of the world's most renowned brands. This includes global giants like Sky, Nokia, Microsoft, Unilever, Mondelez, and Coca-Cola; iconic names such as BMW, Levi's, Mandarina Duck, and Riva Yachts; and socially impactful organizations like Big Issue, Fairtrade, ActionAid, and UNICEF.

One of the most significant highlights of my career was at FCB Inferno London, where I served as lead designer for the Nokia Lumia Global launch campaign identity—arguably Nokia's most important launch ever.
In 2016, I took on the role of Design Director for Change Please, a non-profit initiative by Big Issue in partnership with FCB Inferno. My work on this project was recognized with a Cannes Silver Lion, a D&AD Wood Pencil, and the EACA Care Grand Prix. It was a truly rewarding experience for both the agency and me.

Currently, I'm based in Italy, working as a freelance designer and art director. I collaborate with both Italian and international clients, offering creative solutions that are innovative, impactful, and tailored to their unique needs.
