I live and work in Italy, after High school I took a degree in Fashion Design at Polimoda (Florence-Italy) and worked as a fashion designer, but that was not what I really wanted to do in my life.
While working I attended a children book illustration workshop run by the Italian illustrator Giacinto Gaudenzi.
Since then I discovered that my great passion was drawing so I went on as a self-taught illustrator and occasionally author creating my artwork and projects for publishers in France, Italy, UK, U.S.A. such as Bayard-presse, Casterman Jeunesse, Le Sorbier, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, Usborne Publishing, The Creative Editions.
My work has developed throughout narrative, non fiction and fiction books.
