After i graduated at “IED-Istituto Europeo di Design” of Milan, i started working as a graphic and product designer for several Italian companies. In 2004, after some stage in Portugal, by The Targa Dorada Studio, and in Italy by JoeVelluto, i joined this last one, an interdisciplinary design studio with whom i developed research projects, product design and communication for companies such as Abet Laminati, Bosa Ceramiche, Diadora, Coin, Coop, Coro, Euro3Plast, F.lli Guzzini, Gas Jeans, Gruppo S. Pellegrino, Killer Loop, Mandarina Duck, Meritalia, Pandora Design, Pitti Immagine, Polimoda Firenze, Richard Ginori, Rollerblade, Sisley, Sonus Faber. In 2005 JoeVelluto presented "Salefino, New Tastes in Italian Design", published by Abitare Segesta. In 2008 the "Saver" project produced by Coro was pointed out by ADI Design Index. In 2008 i left JoeVelluto and moved to London, where i became a creative consultant for several companies, developing projects in advertising, furniture and event industry around Europe. I consider myself as a witty person, practical and perfectionist, someone who always enjoys new challenges and hard competition. As a designer, i always felt attracted to the practicality and logic, taking as inspiration the small details of everyday life, the forms of nature and the geometry of the context that surrounds me. A highly efficient professional, i am able to build and maintain strong working relationships, leading to growth and business development. My strong sense of visual aesthetics and technology that goes into product development, allows me to deliver profitable ranges of products & accessories, aided by graphics and advertisings at times, meeting customers’ need for quality and reliability, and businesses’ need to explain and promote these ranges to the customers/public. I am currently working as a freelance graphic designer, with clients mainly based in Europe and USA. I am used to collaborate with Italian and English companies, and suppliers from all around Europe. hide
