I’m a versatile graphic designer based in Milan, with roots in visual arts and illustration. After ten years running my wellness business and raising three children, design became a natural evolution—where empathy, storytelling, and aesthetics meet. I’ve built my own brand, worked as a freelance illustrator, and led creative projects with children. I bring curiosity, intention, and a human touch to every project. My goal is to use design as a visual language to turn ideas and identities into tangible, meaningful form, especially through branding, storytelling, and packaging. I’ve created brand identities and illustrated portraits for wellness and photography projects, and I’ve worked as a freelance yoga & pilates instructor, a creative English educator, and a translator and theatre assistant director, bringing empathy and collaboration to every project.…I’m a versatile graphic designer based in Milan, with roots in visual arts and illustration.
