What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create illustrations, concept art, characters, and immersive environments for books, games, animation, and other visual storytelling projects.

I create illustrations, concept art, and visual storytelling across books, games asset , and private commissions.

At What The Factory, I handle color work for the illustrated book Emergenza Colori, develop character sheets for 3D collectible figures, and create sticker-album and music-video background art for Ninna e Matti.

At Junggle Hive, I translated reference texts and worldbuilding rules into environment and character concepts, developing finished 2D work for sale.

I also work directly with private clients on D&D Homebrew manuals, visual novel concepts, mascot design, album covers, illustrated books, and website graphics. My practice spans traditional and digital 2D art, 3D modeling, and interactive prototyping in Unity.
