Hello! 🖖

I am an award-winning motion designer and director from Italy.
Born in a small town nestled within the Italian Alps, I spent my childhood building Lego spaceships and dreaming of unearthing dinosaurs. Life charted a different course: after graduating from The University of Milan with a degree in Audio-Visual Communications, I launched my career as a freelance motion designer.
Over the years, I've evolved into a versatile motion specialist operating at the intersection of storytelling and design.

My work spans from narrative-driven animation where motion serves as a powerful communicative medium, to my recent focus on integrating dynamic elements into branding and product design systems. This journey has brought me into collaborative partnerships with design teams at industry leaders including Google, YouTube, Meta and Spotify, where I help transform static identities into living, breathing experiences that resonate with users.
