I am a creative professional with more than fifteen years of experience across editorial publishing, digital retail, web design, graphic design, art direction and illustration. I have led visual projects for organizations including Arnoldo Mondadori Editore and YOOX Net-A-Porter Group, creating digital experiences, landing pages, campaigns, newsletters, illustrations and visual identities for major brands and editorial platforms. Alongside my professional work, I continue to explore creative storytelling through illustration, writing and content creation. I enjoy combining strong visual concepts with clear communication, whether I am developing a brand identity, designing a digital interface, illustrating a story or sharing ideas about modern and contemporary art. I bring a curious, collaborative and hands-on approach to every project.
