Overview
I'm an Italian freelance illustrator based in Tottori, Japan.
After graduating in painting in 2005 I've been working for several international companies and animation studios as illustrator and graphic designer. My artwork has been awarded and exhibited in museum and international festival in Europe and Asia.
My focus is always on understanding the client’s needs and developing suitable concepts in order to meet their objectives and requirements.
I like to have a direct approach and I'm open to criticism whenever it improve the final result.
My work usually start with a discussion with the client, then I proceed with sketches and when the concept is approved we move forward with a semi final artwork. Finally, after some eventually tweaks, I produce the definitive work.
