I am a 2D Character Animator, Stop Motion Animator, Animation Director, Illustrator, Storyboard Artist, Character Designer and Graphic Designer, as well as an animation educator, tutor and lecturer. I am a very versatile artist, who likes to portray the world through my imaginative eyes, giving a touch of magic and enchantment to all things around us.
I attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Italy (my home town), where I achieved a painting degree. I then worked for two years as an Illustrator and Graphic Designer for an Italian publishing company specialised in children books and publications. In 2007 I moved to London to attend a Post Graduate Course in 2D Character Animation at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design) achieving my Diploma in 2D Character Animation in 2008.
Since then I settled down in London to continue my animation path, still working in illustration and design too.
In the past fourteen years I worked for many companies and animation studios, both in London and abroad, and for a large number of clients as a freelance Animator as well as a Designer, Storyboard Artist and Illustrator, for both commercial and more independent projects.
Since 2010 I also started teaching animation mostly to young people, running animation courses and workshops across London and abroad. In 2017 I lectured at Central Central Martins over the short course "Drawn Animation for Beginners", which led me to my latest 2D Animation Lecturing job at University of Central Lancashire in the premises of their partner Hebei University in Baoding, China.
