I trained for five years at CFP Zanardelli in Edolo — hypermedia graphic operator, then graphic technician, then an IFTS specialisation in multimedia production — and I barely stood still in those years: agency placements from my second year, three weeks at a photography studio in Seville, advertising sets over the summers, and a year's apprenticeship at a communication agency building websites and dealing with clients.

Alongside that I worked on real commissions. An identity for the neuropsychiatric day centre for teenagers run by the ASST Vallecamonica health authority, adopted and presented at its opening. Village festival posters for the Vicinia di Doverio. The graphics for an alpine mountain hut, from the concert poster to the menu. And a clothing brand invented from scratch and carried all the way to the printed shirt, audience research and competitor analysis included.

What interests me is the point where a project stops living on screen: a logo that ends up on a sign, a poster that has to be read from across the street, a hoodie sewn by hand. Craft gave me attention to detail, fashion gave me an eye for colour, travelling taught me to adapt fast to a place I don't know.

I work across Piancogno, Darfo Boario Terme, Breno, Edolo and the surrounding villages, and I'm happy to travel when a project calls for it. If you have something to show and don't yet know what shape to give it, that's probably my kind of job.
