About me
I'm a freelance illustrator and designer based in Turin, Italy. I work across print, motion and digital, always focusing on solid visual communication and attention to detail. Having been an agency art director for many years, I tackle every new project as a unique creative challenge asking for fresh research, experimentation and custom-made solutions.
