I’m a Designer & Illustrator
based in Milan, Italy.

My work focuses on editorial, character design and paper art.

With colorful palettes, flexible characters and out of scale elements, my visions are cheerful and reflective at the same time. I enjoy illustrating especially social and environmental themes.

Obsessed with stop-motion animation, sci-fi, and Back to the Future.
In my free time, I love crafting miniature houses and sketching my adventures while traveling.
