I’m a motion designer,
but also an illustrator and aspiring astronaut.

I have started working as illustrator and Flash animator for several web agencies, then I decided to move towards web design to follow market evolutions.
In 2015, I attended an After Effects workshop at BigRock that made me fall in love with it.
Now I represent myself as an astronaut, because I’m living my experience as motion designer as a continuous discovery of new expressive worlds. For each new project, I try to infuse something that personalizes it, exploring variations and style improvements to never stop growing my skills and my creativity.
For these reasons I’m exploring frame-by-frame animation and my next step is to approch the 3rd dimension, studying Cinema4D.
