What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a passionate Art Director and Visual Designer with proven experience in visual branding within the music industry. Collaborating with leading labels such as Sony Music Italy and Believe Music, I create compelling visual narratives that significantly engage audiences. Currently, I serve as a Junior Art Director at TMMC - University of Music in Brescia, where I develop communication strategies and visual identity for this international music institution.

My portfolio showcases my skills in graphic design, video editing, and brand identity development. Beyond commercial design, I am also working on a collection of digital paintings that explore the intersection of traditional Italian culture/literature and advanced digital technologies. This project reflects my ongoing exploration of visual storytelling, pushing the boundaries between classical art forms and contemporary digital media.
