Hi !
I'm a production designer and draftperson with a background in set design for Opera and a long-standing passion for art history built over 15 years of study. I trained at NABA (in Italy) and NFTS (in UK) and growing up in the Alps near Lake Como shaped my sense of space, texture, and natural color, and that influence comes through in the environments I help create. I enjoy collaborating closely with directors and art teams to shape worlds that feel grounded, expressive, and visually cohesive. I’m comfortable moving between research, concept development, and hands-on problem-solving to support the full creative process within the Art Department.
