Overview

I am a hardworking and dedicated designer and illustrator, with a particular focus on Young Adults and Romance novels.

I'm passionate about fashion, lettering, portraiture and anything that conveys beauty into our life.

I believe the process of designing a great cover is all about collaboration, and I work closely with each author or publisher until everyone is happy with the outcome.

My work has been featured within "The New Vocabulary of Italian Fashion" at Milan's Triennale.

I speak Italian, English and French.
