Born in Los Angeles but raised in Italy, I studied art in Florence and pursued film studies at Rome’s Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. During this period, I interned in the costume department, working alongside the acclaimed designer Millenotti, on the film “La voce della luna” directed by the legendary Federico Fellini.

 

A scholarship from Warner Brothers brought me back to Los Angeles, enabling my attendance at the California Institute of the Arts, where I obtained a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Film and Animation.

 

My short animations and documentaries have garnered international attention and awards, ranging from the prestigious Berlin Film Festival in 1990 to the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. I have received numerous grants, awards, and recognitions from organizations such as the George Soros Foundation and the Puffin Foundation, as well as a nomination for a Student Academy Award.

 

As a Production Designer for films, I've been involved in a variety of projects, including the adrenaline-pumping action thriller "KIDNAP," starring Halle Berry, and the Italian box office sensation "HO VOGLIA DI TE." My most recent project is the Spanish psychological thriller "ROCAFORT STATION," scheduled for a Netflix debut in 2024.

 

In addition to film, my professional experience encompasses Art Directing for television commercials and print media, as well as styling across various media formats. I've also served as an animator and artist for the visually captivating multimedia project "Eve," directed by musician Peter Gabriel at England’s Real World Studios.

 

Fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English, I have had the opportunity to work in various countries, including the USA, UK, Spain, Italy, and Argentina.
