I value the gift of creativity above all else and am passionately dedicated to crafting immersive experiences that evoke emotion and immersion. With over ten years of experience composing and producing sound design for a wide range of projects—from theatre to video games—I have studied and explored the role of music across formats. I am proficient in all major DAWs, particularly Ableton Live and Reaper, and have in-depth knowledge of middleware such as Wwise and FMOD. I also have a basic understanding of C++ and independently develop video games using Unreal Engine 5. Throughout my career I have taught audio engineering, composition, production, and sound design at university and professional levels in Italian and English, and I offer private consulting and arrangement services. My work has included collaborations with Yamaha and fashion/film events, and I have led teams of audio technicians managing multiple studios and high-profile events. I value a structured workflow and clear communication to bring creative visions to life and to help ideas thrive in collaborative environments.
