I am a graphic designer and illustrator, raised on comics and graphic experimentation. After earning my Graphic Design diploma at the Liceo Artistico in Pistoia, I continued my studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, where I graduated in Graphic Arts with the highest grade (110/110 cum laude). I currently work as a graphic designer/model maker at an industrial design studio in the footwear sector, combining illustration, graphic design and product-focused thinking. I am constantly working on developing a personal visual language, balancing technique and creativity. I do a lot of sport, especially outdoor running, which helps me clear my mind and generate new ideas. I follow the world of football with great interest. I am passionate about cars and motorcycles, especially vintage ones, and about everything related to motorbikes. I love listening to music of different genres and I am fascinated by vintage objects with stories, with a special interest in creative upcycling and giving new life to what is usually considered obsolete.
