I'm an Italian illustrator and visual development artist based in Turin, Italy. After earning a degree in Magazine Publishing from the University of the Arts London, I worked in marketing and advertising as a graphic designer for brands like Fluxx, Lisa E Moss, and Seven. I then spent time in Tianjin, China, as an ESL teacher before returning to Italy to study animation at the International School of Comics in Turin, pursuing my lifelong passion for the animation industry.  

As a freelance illustrator, I’m represented by  Advocate Art and have illustrated children's books and educational materials for clients such as Disney, Penguin Random House, Lucky Charms, Hachette, Sweet Cherry, Oxford University Press, and Cengage. I've also worked as a character designer for toys and marketing products.  

In 2019, I co-founded the indie game studio Not a Number in Turin, where I served as Art Director and visual development artist. While our first title, *Helheim’, was published in early 2019, the studio unfortunately closed in 2020 due to the pandemic. Our second project, ‘Out of the Hat’, showed promise with publishers but was never completed.  

I have a deep interest in science and believe in the power of accessible research. Since 2017, I’ve created animated content for Oxford University, the University of Adelaide, Bath University, and science communication companies like Animate Your Science. My short film ‘(Not) Just a Touch’ won Best Film at the Bristol Science Film Festival (2017) and was an official selection at the International Science Film Festival.

Inspiration comes from everything around me—people in cafés, the way sunlight hits my window at sunset, my daughter. I love blending real-life moments with fantasy aesthetics, adding a touch of magic to everyday life through my art.
