About
My work spans across disciplines ranging from industrial design, graphic design and 3D modelling and visualisations, collaborating with scientists, programmers, engineers, and other specialists in the development of projects. I have participated in the production of scientific and electronics devices, footwear and artistic installations. With my multi-sector experience, I help people and companies conceptualize, develop and bring to life their ideas and products.
I work with wood, plastic, rubber, EVA, silicone, textile, textile webbing, leather; I am proficient in using the Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), 3D CAD software to build models and prototypes (Rhinoceros), and 3D rendering software to quickly create computer generated imagery for visualization and animation (Keyshot).
For my works, I received honorable mentions and awards, like the inclusion in the ADI Design Index and the Targa giovani of the XXIV Compasso d’Oro.
