I am a creative professional with a strong background in Visual Design and Digital Communication, and I have been active in the industry since 2019. Over the years, I have developed a multi-disciplinary skill set that allows me to handle the entire lifecycle of a brand’s digital presence, from building and managing high-performing e-commerce platforms on Shopify to creating compelling brand storytelling through Instagram and TikTok campaigns. My work has successfully helped brands grow communities of over 10,000 followers, and I am highly proficient in managing Facebook and TikTok Ads to drive engagement and sales. As a graduate with a Diploma in Visual Design, I offer expert-level skills in the Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, ensuring that every piece of content meets the highest aesthetic and professional standards. My professional experience is deeply rooted in high-profile collaborations and international events. I have worked extensively with the Locarno Film Festival for three consecutive editions (76, 77, and 78), where I served as a camera operator for live filming at the Piazza Grande and managed red carpet interviews. I have also collaborated with the Swiss public broadcaster RSI, working closely with industry professionals in cinematography and studio lighting, and contributed to the award-winning short film Tusen Toner, which won the Pardino d'Argento at the Locarno Film Festival.
