I was born in Modena (Italy) in 1985.
After completing artistic studies (Istituto d'Arte A. Venturi, and IED in Turin) I made a career in advertising and have been the founder of a small award-winning design/trade business.
I am currently based in the UK where I work as a freelance
Illustrator and Creative Designer, accompanied by my beloved dog.

I feel truly at home when I'm in nature, and it greatly influences my artistic vision. With a keen interest in psychology and holistic approaches, I'm dedicated to continuously expanding my intuition and artistic skills. In my spare time, I volunteer to help animals in need.
