METODO

I shape concepts into multifaceted visual systems and imaginaries. I choose colors that make people feel alive.

 

 

My methodology merges a fascination for past iconographies with intuition, playfulness, and material exploration — moving fluidly between digital and analog matter, especially in exhibition design and visual identity projects.

 

 

I value generosity and meticulous attention to detail, creating hybrid formats that invite transformative experiences.

 

 

In 2012, I co-founded Studio Fludd, a collective practice that blends art and design across scales and contexts. Ambiguity and contrasting aesthetic elements act as catalysts that continually renew our work.

 

 

Studio Fludd’s projects share a tailored, craft-driven process and a content-focused approach, guided by the desire to enjoy the work and pursue our way of doing things.

SCUOLA

I have developed and led a wide range of design-methodology workshops and courses across institutions and audiences, from children to university students, both in Italy and abroad.

 

My teaching practice focuses on the creative power of collecting and reinterpreting heritage images, using them as a tool for self-awareness and creative inquiry.

 

The aim is to cultivate a sharp and sensitive eye, the ability to connect personal concepts with visual impact, and a rigorous yet open approach to image-making and design—one that embraces discovery, beauty, and unconventional possibilities.

 

Since 2016, I have been heading the Illustration Department at IED Torino.
