I'm passionate about clean, organized design and bring a meticulous, creative approach to every project I take on. I earned a Bachelor's in Design from the European Institute of Design in Rome, where I focused on branding, typography, photography, web design, editorial, and video editing. I’m highly skilled in Adobe CC and enjoy animation and coding. I'm also technically inclined, with experience in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, and CMS platforms, along with proficiency in WordPress. Plus a foundation in C++, Python, and Java. Recently, I've been working in UX/UI design, using Figma to prototype responsive layouts and collaborate with teams in real-time. My experience across freelance, agency, and in-house roles has helped me adapt quickly, manage deadlines, and thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments. I'm committed to delivering designs that are not only visually compelling but also user-centric, functional, and impactful.
