an art director at heart, I build worlds with well-matched color palettes and objects of all kinds. i like to art direct just about everything in my life. i’m a self-made multidisciplinary designer —visual artist, photographer, and a community developer and creative lead, with a strong visual presence rooted in alternativeness. introvert/extrovert…you choose.

 

I’m an award-winning independent designer and entrepreneur, working across disciplines with a strong sensitivity to color, shape, and sound. Born in 1986 in Bergamo, in the north of Italy, where the Alps are the most beautiful thing, I followed my love for design to the Politecnico di Milano, graduating in interior design before becoming an art director on large-scale projects at some of the world’s leading advertising agencies.

Eventually, I left the corporate world to fully embrace my artistic path. My work and personal aesthetic returned to what feels most natural — color, geometry, and abstraction. Inspired by past eras of interior, product, and poster design, my practice unfolds through designing, drawing, styling, and painting, freely exploring shapes without limits.

Close to my heart are a few of the most important artistic movements of the last century — for example, the Memphis Milano movement founded by Sottsass, the trippy visuals and illusions of Vasarely, and Bauhaus architecture with its beautiful, rigid geometric lines, to name a few. My ongoing exploration of beauty couldn’t be contained within a single role, so my work naturally expanded across multiple fields, anything that makes me feel complete.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with brands such as Dubai & Qatar Tourism, Volkswagen, McDonald’s, Radisson Hotels, Levi’s, Expo, Harvey Nichols, Infiniti, Tommy Hilfiger, Lavazza, ALDO, Shein, Instagram, and more.

In 2018, I founded my independent brand La Come Di.
In 2021, I co-founded the alternative brand Secta.
