I'm a 2D background artist and concept designer based in Lecce, Italy, with a strong foundation in traditional art, scene composition, color theory, and lighting. I collaborate across studios and teams, delivering consistent art direction for animation and game projects for clients like Netflix, BBC, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. I lead cross-functional teams and translate artistic vision into production-ready assets while maintaining style and timelines. Currently I lead a small team of artists, guiding project direction, ensuring a cohesive visual style, and delivering high-quality work on tight schedules. I'm excited by new IPs like Mermaids: Magic of the Deep and Winx - The Reboot, and I value feedback-driven collaboration that keeps creativity aligned with production goals.
