I am a designer with 6 years of self-taught and informal experience, formalized in 2024 with the conclusion of a two-year course in Visual Design.

Since 2018 I have been dealing the communication and graphic aspects of a youth association that manages a social club where cultural, political and community events take place. Since 2023 I started working for a life coach and a cultural center in Milan.

Over the years I dealt with social media graphics, posters, flyers and brochures, gadgets (t-shirts and stickers), drafting and layout of social reports, editorial planning, communication for events, coordinated image for festivals, communication campaigns, data representation for editorials.

I’m trying to specialize in communication for events and for social and third sector realities.

Before moving into the field of graphics, I obtained a master’s degree in Architecture and worked in the field for two years, only to then recognize that the aspect that interested me most was the graphic one.
During my studies I did an Erasmus in Brussels and one in Valencia. The programs I use most are Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Premiere and After Effect for videos.

Thanks to my years in the architectural field, I am also familiar with SketchUp, AutoCAD and Archicad.
