I'm an Italian Art Director and Motion Designer with a focus on visual systems that blend graphic design, typography, and motion to communicate complex ideas with clarity and depth. My approach is rooted in designing layered narrative—creating multiple levels of interpretation that invite deeper engagement with the content. 
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a broad range of sectors, including cultural, governmental, and non-profit institutions, as well as commercial and corporate environments. 


My design practice revolves around the concept and research phase, which I consider pivotal to the creative process—shaping not just the form, but also the meaning behind each project. While motion design is my main field, I work across a variety of disciplines including editorial design, brand identity, data visualization, and publishing projects. 
Experimentation plays a central role in my practice—whether through analog treatments, the study of behaviors and generative systems.
