Who I am
Born in Milan in 1984, I studied and lived in Venice, Paris, New York and Istanbul. Since university I worked
with video - both as a freelance and in collaboration with production companies - making documentaries,
shorts movies, video set design for theatre and events, adv, corporate and tutorial videos.
Lately I deepened the study of motion design and animation.
I have a strong interest in visual dramaturgy especially in the field of reportage and documentary.
I am always exploring writing, editing and cinematography.
