I’m a graphic designer with a passion for everything tech.
I was born in Milan but raised between Lugano, Paris, and New York. I graduated from Parsons The New School For Design with a BBA in Design Management in 2012 and a subsequent MFA in Design and Technology. Throughout my studies, I discovered my love for everything design. I started to focus more and more on the creative aspects of my BFA, deciding to become a full-time graphic designer after graduating while cultivating my passion for technology and making. Having lived and studied both in the USA and in Europe, I am able to fuse American pragmatism with European aesthetics.

You have the watches. We have the time.

You have the watches. We have the time. is a project aimed at clarifying and showcasing some of the events that happened during the airlift of personnel from Kabul during Operation Allied Refuge at the end of August 2021, and reflecting on the human cost of twenty years of conflict. 

This project consists of a CNC map of Afghanistan, projection mapping elements, and different types of data visualization. 

I truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words and that is even more true when we talk about complex events and data. Humans are visual learners, our most developed sense is vision. Through this project, I demonstrate my commitment to design as a medium with the obligation of visualizing the complexity of our existence in the most clear and straightforward way possible.
