๐ฌ Creative at heart. Technical by habit. Curious by nature
Iโm a video editor. Mainly.
But I am also a filmmaker, a scriptwriter, a copywriter, a producerโฆ
(and a few other roles where the font keeps getting smaller and smallerโฆ)
๐ค Teamwork is the key
Although I have been freelancing a good part of my life, most of the projects I have worked on, I have had the pleasure of being in a team. An essential experience that helped me through the sharing of knowledge, creative problem-solving, and the art of making things work together.
๐ ๏ธ Post-production ninja
I can confidently say my home is Adobe Creative Cloud, as long as I am fuelled by a decent amount of caffeine. I have travelled to many other places, though: DaVinci, FCPX, Frame.io, Iconik, LucidLink, CapCut, LumaVision are just some of the tools I have used in my long career.
๐ป Code learner in progress
Currently taming Python and JavaScript - one bug at a time. With the hope that I can integrate more and more all my life experiences and use programming and AI as the glue that brings it all together. Working on it ๐ช๐ป
๐ My academic background shaped how I think
But itโs the art, music, and films Iโve devoured that opened my mind to the wild, beautiful mess of human creativity. And, of course, the people I have met along the way.
๐Born in Naples, bred in Milan, buttered in London (with a sprinkle of New York)
The buzzing London is my home today. Yet I am increasingly attracted by the idea of reconnecting with Europe and the world. The ideal would be to build a bridge in between - no wait, the ideal would be to work remotely on an island where itโs always warm and the food is good, but hey, we canโt have it all.
๐ Always up for a challenge
Especially the kind that makes me Google something weird at 1 AM.
Or talk to GPT for half an hour.

Industry Experience
At LADbible Originals, I played a key role in defining and shaping new video formats across sport, entertainment, and factual content. I worked closely with production, editorial, and marketing teams to develop original concepts, refine storytelling structures, and ensure formats aligned with audience trends and platform-specific strategies. Many of these formats have since become staples of LADbibleโs high-performing video output (Snack Wars, Agree to Disagree, The Eleven, The Most Relaxing Interview Ever, The Mission, President of the World).
