Experience

• Creative Lead for the Entertainment Industry at Freelance

  May 2019 - Present

  I bring to studios and their clients extensive skills in storytelling, sketching, character design, environment design, and storyboards. With experience in VFX post-production, I also possess artistic knowledge in matte paintings and photo bashing, together with a strong understanding of the technical pipeline required for live-action, CGI and executable experiences like games and real-time attractions.

  As a creative leader, I greatly enjoy guiding the team through multiple projects and work streams, from concept to delivery, taking care of the creative vision. My collaborations with diverse clients like Red Raion, Creative App, Caffeina | Ideas Never Sleep, and Attitude Srl allowed me to explore beyond the boundaries of creativity and develop a flexible problem-solving approach.

  Strong project management, adaptability, and meticulous attention to detail are my strengths, and my goal is to inspire and mentor creative teams to work efficiently and deliver exceptional results with less stress.

  I thrive in dynamic environments and fearlessly own my decisions (both the good and the bad ones) during the process, always striving to learn and improve and seeking new ways to create unforgettable entertainment experiences.
