Ehy, you found

my secret project!

About me

I was born and raised in Messina back in '95. Right from the start, thanks to my dad, I got hooked on two things: technology and engines.

My first computer was a Pentium 4 with 256MB of RAM and a 100GB hard drive. I spent hours drawing in Paint and playing around with text styles in Word to create these super colorful, eye-catching pages. I'd use our internet connection to browse the LEGO website and squeeze in as many games as I could in an hour.

Over time, I fell in love with graphic design and photo editing software. In 2011, I designed my first logo for a web radio project, and shortly after, my first brand identity for a furniture store.

In 2015, I started at the Academy of Fine Arts, where I learned the real value and fundamental principles of graphic design. I wrapped up my studies with a somewhat visionary thesis on Design Systems and the role they would play in the future of design.

Since 2018, I've been applying everything I learned both in and out of school. In 2019, I opened my VAT number and kicked off my freelance journey.

Since then, I've woven user experience-focused design into my process, putting all my efforts into creating intuitive digital services and products that actually make people's lives better.

Design should put people at ease without overwhelming them. That's why we need more “Calm Design”: a balanced design that brings together aesthetics, functionality, and design sustainability.
