Biography

Self-taught animator since I was little: I started drawing Hamtaro running frame by frame, but i didn't know the tecnical name at that time. I just wanted to reproduce the movement I saw on the television on the sheets in my hands. It was quite complicated without knowing the principles of animation. But in the end trying and trying i figured things out. I love to draw and even more to give it a soul through movement. A sort of imaginary friend (repressed desire to want a pet but my mother was afraid of hamsters, which she considers rats, and a dog was a big responsibility. Over time this too has been overcome in fact I have a stupendously huge Labrador!). Enough chit-chat! Growing up I had to clash with the Italian working reality but above all with my mother first: I went to the scientific high school instead of the artistic one. This was the last battle she won. In fact I followed a course of studies at the Academy of Fine Arts (in Foggia and than in Macerata- with one semester at UAP in Poland thanks to Erasmus). In the meantime I followed a paid online 3d course (SquashnStretch.net) consisting of several modules: I arrived at the animals module but then unfortunately I ran out of money (the ones I had collected while working as a waitress). Many sacrifices because I never had the support of my parents- neither economic nor emotional. They only changed their minds after I started working, but not as a freelance - because this was not recognized enough -, for a company in Milan, that hired me on a fixed-term contract. Actually, in fact, I work as a videomaker and sometimes as motion graphic. But i want more! By the way i love my family forever and ever. Thanks to them I discovered what I wanted to become. All the obstacles I encountered did not stop me, on the contrary them made me realize how much I wanted to get it.
