About
Hi! I'm an Italian animation filmmaker and illustrator with an international background, currently based in the Netherlands. My work currently explores themes such as memory, heritage, identity, trauma and loss. At the moment I'm busy developing my directorial debut animated film. Next to my artistic practise, I work for publishers and authors, and I hosts lectures and workshops. If I'm not busy drawing, I'm probably swimming or freediving, discovering the underwater world.

Pick me for these projects! :-

Projects with a strong narrative core and a clear message for the audience, especially if they deal with emotionally complex topics.

I'll sit these ones out :-

Projects or stories with an unclear narrative and gaps in the character development.
