I am a Milan-born art director and graphic designer with over six years of experience across design, branding and the hospitality industry. My work has taken me across Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, blending strong visual communication with hands-on leadership in events and creative direction. Throughout my career, I have led brand development for hospitality, healthcare, tech and lifestyle clients, independently and in agency settings. As Head Designer at a Maltese marketing agency, I oversaw visual strategy and team workflows, gaining practical insight into business operations and how to deliver measurable brand impact. I also founded Teasysounds, a community-driven brand centered around electronic music, and I’m eager to bring original visuals, storytelling and strategic branding to new partnerships in 2026.
