About me

Stories are our finest instrument to spread empathy.
Recognizing your same feelings in characters who look different from yourself is the easiest way to nourish your humanity.
I’m a writer and director for animation.
In 2024 My path crossed that of Good Karma Entertainment, with which I started my career as a full storyteller by writing and directing a story close to my heart.
Before starting my career as director, I took the long way…
I started in 2013 as a CGI animator for Disney and Ubisoft TV shows in Teamto studio in Valance then Rainbow CGI in Rome. In 2020, attracted by the symbolism of cinematographic language, I delved into storyboarding for two live-action movies, “A Classic Horror Story” (2021),  Holy Boy (2024) and, while working on two horror movies, I was storyboarding Peppa Pig Show, nonetheless.
In 2024, I also began teaching cinematographic language and direction at IED (European Institute of Design).
To develop my artistic skills, I pursued a degree in Fine Arts in Italy and attended a Visual Storytelling course at Gobelins in Paris. While working, I followed online e-courses on advanced storyboards with Animation Mentor and various workshops and classes about storytelling with Pixar Mentors and Screenwriting with Netflix writers. I’ve also followed screenwriting classes at Scuola Holden in Turin and at The Cinema School Luchino Visconti in Milano.
I believe in the power of stories, especially if it’s for a child.
Sometimes a kid has anything but a story to feel a sense of belonging in a world of adults.
