Creative freelance: art director & designer, currently in Milan.
I was born in 1985, in a small town of Puglia that many used to call Marlboro City (Brindisi).
I grew up in a family of music collectors. My mother was born in Buenos Aires and my father is a former Italian football player.
Most people would define me an art director. But I fit better in a spacious creative mind
where Beauty and Design can solve problems and craft everything.
My approach combines research and strategy with disruption, sharpness and pure intuition.
When I first met advertising, I’ve pictured my future as a smart hybrid artist that can achieve any results with creativity
and transform ideas and stories into beautiful things that everyone can understand.
