Tiziano is a creative and curious Digital Art Director from Milan.
Since moving to London in 2013, I worked at McCann, Bluefrog Fundraising and Essence. In a previous life, I launched WICS, a mobile app for action sports and created Wegether, an events company in Milan.
In my spare time, I enjoy Swing dancing and rock climbing. My love of travel and adventure once found my surfing with a crocodile.
