I attended the Insittute of Art and subsequently graduated from the European Insittute of Design (IED) in Turin with a degree in illustraiton. As a post-grad, I worked as an Art director in a communicaiton and Adv agency, and also ran a successful design concept store/studio for six years, which made me win the Ascom Confcommercio award “The idea becomes Enterprise” and CNA “Emerging Women” award. I now live and work in the UK as a freelance Illustrator and Creaitve Designer, accompanied by my beloved pets. I devote most of my itme to my passion for images and words and my research aims to explore and experiment always moving beyond my comfort zone. I love quietness and I feel at home when in the wild nature. In the future, I’d like to work on projects linked to mental health/mindfulness, animal welfare and a green lifestyle.
