I was born and raised in Savona, Italy, a small town on the northwest coast. It’s the kind of place you’d love if you were a seagull or a fisherman, but hate if you’re a teenager with a strong desire to see the world.
That’s why – as soon as I finished my Diploma at the Arts school in 2016 – I moved to Brescia, where I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and Multimedia from the LABA Fine Arts Academy in 2020 (yes, I am part of the club of graduates on Zoom).
After completing my degree, I started working as a freelance graphic designer and social media manager. This eventually led me to a rad 2-years-long adventure with the travel agency Aqaba Inner Space in Aqaba, Jordan, where I lived for two months.
Upon returning to Italy, I decided to specialize in illustration and was awarded a scholarship for the Business Illustration course at The Sign Academy in Florence, where I am still currently studying.
In the meantime, I’m working towards obtaining a Master degree in Illustration at Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti (Fine Arts Academy) in Genoa.
Today I works as an illustrator, having fun creating small worlds and finding the best way to tell stories through shapes and colors – always fueled by curiosity and passion for art and graphics.
