I am a scenographer and visual artist with more than ten years of international experience leading or working within the creative design department.
I’ve started my career as a leading set&costume designer in Italy, Cyprus, Greece and London and In parallel I worked as a scenic artist at the ROH, illustrator, art director and production designer for various commercials, editorials and films.
I am highly experienced in developing projects from scratch to the very end. From the creative direction, image research and mock-up development to the supervision of the building team and collaboration with the sound and light designers at the end of the making process.
I like challenging myself accepting jobs from different backgrounds.
I enjoy experimenting with scale and proportions, colours and different materials, light and shadow, observing and trying to create new worlds.
Storytelling and concept are very important in my work.
I have been constantly taking ballet and piano lessons since my early childhood and during recent years I took part in dance videos and in numerous dance workshops, master classes and presentations in Milan, Bolzano and Paris

Projects
- STEREOGNOSIS - L.D.F 2019Empowering Individuals: Diversity + Inclusivity by Design exhibition The world of set design and styling is predominantly based on the principles of aesthetics, among these, of particular relevance is the correlation between the object and the surrounding space, scale and proportion, the point of perspective and visual frame, colour and perceived textures of materials. Inclusivity in design is usually referred to several categories: gender, disability, ethnicity, vulnerability, language and age
- SLIP“Slip” - simple beauty of everyday objects and waste. Each diptych portrays a serene and tranquil giving life to discarded raw and basic materials. The images offer up subtle juxtapositions between one another with materials and textures, some solid and tough and some delicate and weightless.
