I’m a curious person, I love to work hard and always to push myself a step further.
I love to work in a team: my teacher used to say I was very competitive as a child and determined to lead groups of people.
I am a Creative director and a professional illustrator, my work takes my body and soul since I was 18 years old when I realized that the thing I knew to do better in life was to communicate was with music (I had three bands) drawing or designing graphics.
I am a music lover, an illustration fanatic, a comics and movies passionate. My library is full of everything I love.
In my life I prefer to grow and improve day by day rather than sit still in one spot and fall asleep: I am ambitious. I work better under pressure and if the work is creatively stimulating passion wins on fatigue. I have worked in several countries including Germany, Turkey, the Netherlands, Luxembourg as a Creative, illustrator and graphic designer.
I work in creeostudio.it since 2008 years as a Creative Director and since two years for Spinnin’ records, Universal Music and Bmg.
I fluently speak_
Italian
English
French
Spanish
