What I'm looking for

I am looking for freelance opportunities that allow for creativity and collaboration.

I'm a 2D Artist based in Lecco, Italy, specializing in stylized design for mobile games and cartoonish projects. With a strong foundation in character and props design, I have contributed to various projects, including character and props concept art for "Royal Revolt, a trader’s tale" by Upright Games. My experience spans freelance work, where I have collaborated with multiple clients to deliver engaging and visually appealing designs.

In addition to my work in mobile games, I have a solid background in graphic design, having worked with clients like Tatamix s.r.l.c.r. and Mountain Brew Brewery. My skills include creating corporate identities, social media graphics, and website updates. I pride myself on my ability to adapt to different styles and projects, ensuring that I meet the unique needs of each client while maintaining a high standard of quality.

As a dedicated artist, I am always open to constructive criticism and thrive in collaborative environments. I believe that good teamwork and communication are essential for success in creative projects. I am currently seeking freelance opportunities that allow me to further develop my skills and contribute to exciting new projects.
