I'm an Italian artist, energetic and dynamic, not afraid of taking on responsibilities and I pride myself on problem solving and project management. I constantly seek opportunities to collaborate across disciplines and push creative boundaries. I work across 2D and 3D production, makeup, set design, and game/film production, and I enjoy experimenting with new tools and workflows (ZBrush, Maya, Toon Boom Harmony) to bring vivid ideas to life while keeping a practical eye on production needs.
