After studying Fine Arts and Design, I spent several years working as a graphic designer at a design agency in Milan. But eventually, I decided to follow my childhood dream of becoming a professional illustrator. I honed this passion further by specializing in children's book illustration at the London Art College, and soon after, I took the leap into freelancing.

 

Since then, my work has been showcased in exhibitions in Naples (Italy) and Indonesia, and I've had the pleasure of collaborating with a range of independent authors and publishing houses. My love for children's education also led me to work as an Early Years Educator, where I gained valuable insights into how young minds think and learn.

This diverse background allows me to create approachable, child-friendly illustrations that resonate with young readers—especially those who are just starting to explore books. My experience as a graphic designer also means I’m well-equipped to design print-ready books, making the self-publishing process smooth and hassle-free.

 

I love connecting with authors, learning about their vision for the story, and discovering what inspired them. The part of the creative process I enjoy most is designing characters and storyboards, where the story truly begins to take shape. I’m passionate about representing diverse cultures and backgrounds in my work, so that every child feels seen and included. Bright colors, playful textures, and whimsical lighting are my go-to tools for crafting vibrant, imaginative illustrations.

They say, "Find a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." Well, my job is my passion—and sometimes that means late-night sketching or weekend painting sessions. I pour my heart into every project because I can't imagine doing anything else that brings me more joy.
