I am an Italian creative born in Florence and raised in a small coastal town. Since childhood I’ve used drawing and painting to express myself, and I’ve turned that passion into a career focused on understanding human needs and shaping meaningful visual systems. I recently spent a year in the Netherlands, living and working in an international context, embracing a different culture and developing a more open and flexible mindset.
