Summary

As a Senior Motion Designer, I apply my 2D and 3D skills to create engaging and captivating content for various clients and platforms.

I have a strong background in art and theatre, with a BA in Visual Arts and Theatre from IUAV Venice University and a MA in Computer Graphic and Visual Effects from BigRock Institute of Magic Technologies.

I have over 6 years of experience as a 2D and 3D Motion Designer, 3D Generalist, and Video Editor, working with Content Creatures, MCCGLC, Polar Media, and as a freelancer. I have contributed to live/digital events and online content for clients such as BP, Bayer, Novartis, Mediatek, Holcim, Roche and EY. I have also mentored young creatives at H-FARM, sharing my knowledge and passion for graphics and animation.
I enjoy using my creativity and technical skills to tell stories, communicate ideas, and solve problems.

In my spare time I imagine new worlds, grow veggies, workout, paint miniatures, play videogames and tabletop games.
