I am an Art Director based in Milan, specializing in Print Design, Logos, User Interface Design and Development. I build appealing and functional design and interfaces which comply with the latest web standards. But that's just a part of it. I am also fashion and editorial photographer.
My world is a creativity expression. "It's something I do before going to bed, and something I can't wait to do in the mornings."

I design with Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash and Lightroom. I code sites with XHTML and CSS, using a little of Actionscript, JavaScript, and PHP, and a lot of Usability, Accessibility, and Web Standards.

This site is a collection of works from 1996 to 2006. I am also a good photographer (please see my gallery) and advanced photoshop user. From 2003 to beginnings of 2007 i worked in Boutique Creativa for webdesign and more.

Now I'm Digital Coordinator & Web Art Director in Arc - Leo Burnett Milan.
