About me
Creativity has been the starting point of my professional growth. In my schooldays it was already clear that this would have been the right path for me, and over the years I felt more and more that creativity was matching my natural inclination for drawing and for any forms of artistic design. I was very young when I’ve first begun to start working for a graphic studio, where I was able to learn the Photoshop bases and to realize as well my first storyboards for the Ferrero company. Then I was lucky enough to get the chance to take an internship in Armando Testa, the major advertising company in Italy. I’ve spent there 3 months supporting a very experienced agency Visualizer, who helped me a lot sharpening my photography post production skills until I became a Visualizer myself. At the end of this stage a small agency with a large account, “The Independent Ideas” offered me to work as Visualizer. I stayed there one year and a half, I got the importance of team working and learned to handle multiple requests by dealing with the challenging agencies timeframes. In the meantime I attended the Editorial and Graphic Design one year Classes at IED, where I have sharpened my illustration and post production abilities, getting closer and closer to the graphic artworks. For a certain period I’ve worked as a free lancer as well, during that I have conceived and realized the Turin Fringe Festival Campaign Key Visual, one of the festivals that better represents my city. I have found myself again working for a 4 months period in a tiny agency, exclusively as part of the graphic team. There I have mainly realized materials for presentations and catalogues. While I was taking the decision to move to Australia to start a new professional career, Armando Testa has got back to me with a job proposal as visualizer. Since there 3 years have passed. I adore my job. My greatest fear, however, is to get old without growing up. I am ambitious and I am good at my job. Therefore the idea to stop frightens me a lot, I know that there is a lot I still have to learn in my profession, but I wouldn’t desire anything else then having always the chance to learn and improve myself. I'm arrived in London in February, and for now I've been a barista for 6 months and now I'm a sales assistant and painter at Superga shoes, to be honest, this is not enough for me, I miss my job and I would like carry on my way in my field.
