Hire Me
I started my career as a comic book artist for Disney Co. Italia, soon after I worked in the field of video games as a concept artist, visualizer and generic illustrator for a couple of PS2 games. Being animation my real passion, I studied classical and computer animation in Dublin, Ireland, for two years; since then I have been working as a freelancer storyboard artist for several studios, both in Italy and abroad, on several productions for television.
