About me
With over two decades of experience spanning across various creative disciplines in Italy and UK, I bring a fresh blend of hands-on expertise and strategic leadership to the table.
My journey began with a passion for understanding the intricacies of each creative field, believing that global knowledge and perspective are fundamental to crafting impactful projects.
With this desire to explore and this curiosity in mind I have passionately worked as motion graphics designer, 3D artist, editor, camera operator/DOP, music composer and sound designer.
This diverse background has equipped me with a deep understanding of the creative process, enabling me to effectively guide teams and deliver tangible results.
Over the past decade, I have transitioned into art and creative direction, utilizing my practical experience to provide strategic guidance and ensure the realization of creative visions.
My daily responsibilities span across preparing treatments and mood boards, writing scripts, directing, managing and nurturing teams, selecting candidates and/or talents, and presenting pitches.
Due to chance and the pandemic, CGI has become my primary focus in recent years, but I also have set and live action experience, allowing me to adapt to diverse project requirements.
I also have ongoing music and art projects: my short films and music have been showcased in a number of international film festivals and museums (Uk, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, etc.)
Thanks for your time!
