I was born with the gift of a happy hand and a great imagination. I grew up as a freehand illustrator, preferably watercolor, in the early 1990s. I then embarked on a career as a creative and graphic designer in various fi elds: photo retouching, photocomposition, publishing, corporate branding, advertising graphics, packaging, rendering and mock-ups, digital illustration… After decades of working as a freelance graphic designer in Italy and abroad (especially in Egypt and Thailand, where I lived for a few years – drawn by my other great and enduring passion for the sea, especially scuba diving, which I still practice as an instructor), in 2012 I moved to Paris, where I worked as art director for Amorino, an international chain of ice cream shops with locations in 12 countries and over 200 stores, creating their branding and organizing their in-house graphics department. In 2019, feeling that that experience was over and fascinated by the prospect of dedicating myself to selected projects, including in the fi eld of digital art, I decided to return to freelance, between France and Italy, working on a wide range of projects, opening new creative horizons and experiencing beautiful new adventures.
