About me
I was born in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, on the 6th of august 1983. I’ve studied Design in Rome, where I live and work since 2002. I have a keen interest in graphic design and design of surfaces, both digital and analog. I have a special sensitivity for colors and textures and I like objects and things from the past that have a memory. Nature is my main source of inspiration.

As decoration I love to use decoration painted by me mixed with paper wrapp
