about me
I’ve always been passionate about creativity in all its forms, with a strong interest in animals and nature.
After graduating in Foreign Languages and Literatures for Publishing, and completing further studies in Editorial Design and Art Direction, my career initially focused on graphic design. In my early years, I worked as a designer in newspaper editorial offices and advertising agencies.
Since 2016, I’ve been working as a freelancer, specializing in graphic / web design and stationery for companies and events.
In 2023, I returned to the study of illustration, completing two years at Ars In Fabula School and attending workshops with internationally recognised illustrators to further develop my skills and visual language.
My work now focuses on illustration projects for children, educational publishing and play-based experiences.
I’m based in Verona, Italy, working with clients worldwide, and I speak fluent English and Spanish.
