Hello! I am a British-Italian background artist and 2D animator, recently graduated from Falmouth University. I’m passionate about environment art and have experience as a painter and layout artist, 2D FX and character animation, as well as 2D game art environments and animation. I’m always exploring new styles and workflows, and I enjoy collaborating on diverse projects, from indie games to short films. I aim to contribute strong character designs, atmospheres, and animation that bring imaginative worlds to life.
