Thanks for making it this far in my portfolio !!!
I guess you’re curious to know more about me.
Enjoy this short story about my journey around the world.
No really, thank you for reading this small note too. I believe I’ve never used a P3 tag on my website, but here it is — a small space for a big dent. Sending you good vibes for going down memory lane with me.
01 PREVIOUSLY, IN ITALY…
I was born in Piacenza, a small town in the north of Italy. From there, I moved to Milan to study advertising and pursue my dream as an Art Director. I loved my life and my career (for more than a decade). But something was missing…
02 PLOT
An Art Director (or maybe, futurist?) had a sneaking suspicion something big was about to change. Something revolutionary, even. Little did he know this thing was actually a world pandemic that upended society as know it. We know how that goes. In 2019, he left Italy to travel the world and become the hero of his own journey.
