I was born in Rome in 1977.
They told me I used to draw fashion since the first day I was able to hold a pencil.
I did my studies at The International Academy of Haute Couture and Art of Costume Koefia in Rome where I graduated as a Fashion Designer and Product Responsible.
From 2001, even before my graduation, my first engagement as a fashion designer took me to Mexico City for a fashion show.
Afterwards I got interested in costumes and I’ve started working in the field, first as an assistant costume designer, then as a key costume designer for movies, short movies and commercials.
Currently, beyond my work in costume designing and fashion styling, I’m teaching Fashion Design at The American University of Rome, and working as a cool hunter at Trendstop.com.
I’m based in Rome/Milan, but I’m willing to work overseas on challenging new projects.
