I am a Milan-based Graphic Designer specialized in information design and data visualization, with extensive experience creating infographics and editorial projects for international organizations, media outlets, and corporate clients. Over the past years, I have collaborated with institutions such as La Lettura – Corriere della Sera, UNICEF, IRPI Media, and others, developing clear and engaging visual narratives that make complex data accessible. My background combines a strong academic foundation in Communication Design (Politecnico di Milano) with hands-on expertise in Adobe Creative Suite and data visualization platforms. Beyond professional practice, I've also taught data visualization and design at IED Milano and have supported educational activities at Politecnico di Milano, fostering a deep understanding of both design thinking and visual storytelling. Curious, precise, and highly collaborative, I thrive in multidisciplinary environments where creativity and problem-solving meet. I bring an editorial mindset, strong organizational skills, and the ability to translate insights into compelling visuals.
