Born in Sicily, at the age of 6 I already aspired to become a cartoonist.
At 21 I moved to Turin to do a course for comic designers.
While I was doing this course I also attended the University of Turin and graduated with a degree in multi media. During my time in Turin I was also working as a web designer and completed a course in video editing and another in Maya (3D software package) at the European Institute of Design.

I have been working in graphic design and visual communication for 15 years. I love drawing - manually and digitally.
I am interested in working with new
technologies on interactive projects as well as creating illustrations.
At 32 I moved to Barcelona, the city where I currently work as a web designer and study drawing, painting and illustration.
To relax I enjoy cooking and try to balance the damage of the days spent in front of the computer with an ashtanga yoga practice. My interests include illustrated books, comics and cinema.
