(please note that the official Curriculum Vitae is included in first pages of my Portfolio) 1989. I was born in Viterbo, Italy, on March 20th 1989. 2007-2008. In 2007, while attending Highschool in Viterbo, I approached Graphic Design and established a small company called VOOLCAN GRAPHICS with a friend of mine. Our main business was creating graphics and logos for the promotion of events and night clubs. 2009-2011. After having achieved the Highschool Degree, I enroled at the EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF DESIGN (IED). I learnt Interior Design and Architecture. My teachers were known architects like Carlo Bordin, Laura Negrini, Alberto Iacovoni and Marco Pietrosanto. I achieved the 1st Level Degree in Interior Design in June 2011, presenting a reasearch and a project about Co-Housing and Social Housing, obtaining an exellent outcome. I continued working as a Graphic Designer, beginning a new collaboration as creative director for campaigns and conferences with the Italian Society for Prison Health (SIMPSE ONLUS). 2012. At the end of 2011 my former planning teacher Marco Pietrosanto offered me an internship in his architecture studio called MP2S in Rome, where I had my first approach with project management from planning to construction. This internship lasted 6 months. From May 2012 I collaborated with HINK DESIGN, founded by former IED students participating in a contest for the planning of the Swiss Embassy in Yaoundé, Cameroun, with a great placement. During the 2nd semester of 2012 I worked as a free-lance graphic designer with the advertising studio ESC in Viterbo. 2013-2014. In Summer 2013, after a short stage with architect Stefano Labellarte in Viterbo, I designed the layout of a bar called “LA MOJITERIA” during a cultural festival and managed the public relations. It was a great success attracting many visitors. In October 2013 I moved to Berlin to improve my German language skills and to learn about German culture and life-style in a city that is design friendly. In April 2014 i got the Goethe Intitut B2 level degree of German Language. 2015. 2015 was carachterised by the continuing of the collaboration with Health Without Barriers, a NGO that works hard to preserve the health and the human diricts of Europe jails’ prisoners. My task was to plan, produce and manage all the graphic material needed, concerning branding, conference sets, and campaigns. This collaboration is still in force today.
