Born in 1988 somewhere in northern Italy, I’ve always been driven by curiosity. A freelance graphic designer, art director, teacher and independent publisher, I move across disciplines, blending strategy, spontaneity and a deep love for pop culture.

Obsessed with stickers, music and subcultures. I collect vintage alternative magazines, fanzines and design books, channeling and reinterpreting that nostalgia into my work. Over the years as a freelance I’ve collaborated with brands like Absolut Vodka, Diadora, Diesel, Disaronno, GCDS, Golden Goose, Mercedes, MTV, Netflix and Nike, as well as iconic luxury streetwear labels such as HBA, Marcelo Burlon County of Milan, Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh and Palm Angels. This had me the opportunity to see my designs and graphic prints on major fashion week runways and on artists and celebrities worldwide.

Teaching is another cornerstone of my career. Since 2013, I’ve shaped courses, mentored thousands of young creatives from all over the world and worked with leading institutions like the NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego and also NABA and Istituto Marangoni; both ranked among the world's top 100 universities for Art & Design by QS World University Rankings. In 2024, I was honored as Tutor of the Year at Istituto Marangoni Milano.

In 2021 I founded Ultra, my independent publishing practice, exploring design through print. My work has been showcased at key institutions, international book fairs and independent publishers' conventions, blending education, experimentation and storytelling.

I believe in simple bold ideas, unexpected connections and keeping creativity raw, real and restless.

My work focuses on art direction, branding, editorial design, fashion and graphic design. For any queries or if you would like to collaborate,
please get in touch.
