// Dream job
After a few years I spent as a co-owner of a fashion store and as a freelance graphic designer, it would be challenging to join a corporate reality or a creative studio. Due to my skills and interests, I would like to follow projects, even very different from each other, involving the world of communication, fashion, or interior design.
// About
I was born in Parma, raised with tortellis in Appennino and Milanese by choice. Since I finished high school, I have felt a connection with Milan and its dynamism, its metropolitan soul, its being a great city. Being the good Taurus that I am, any new change has to be metabolized in my mind and then it is the right time to act. After a couple of years studying civil engineering and a few months working in an office, I decided to come to Milan and study interior design at the Politecnico.
I learned the creative process: start with an idea, develop good material to build and communicate it, and follow the project through to the final result. Now, I have the right tools to grow as a designer and, more importantly, as a person.
My experience is not that broad. I need to learn new skills. I need to meet new people who can teach me how to do it better. I need to grow while working in a space that is thriving with ideas. I feel like a good piece of clay that needs to be molded and designed into something special.
