Napoli, ’92

A brand can stop you in your tracks before you’ve read a single word. That instant emotional response, the feeling something gives you at first glance, is just as powerful as the story behind it. My work lives in both dimensions: the immediate and the layered, the felt and the understood.

I’m an award-winning Design Director with over a decade of experience building brands through strategy, storytelling, and visual systems.

Research is the obsession that drives my process. I dig into history, culture, behaviour, the kind of details that don’t make it into briefs but end up shaping everything. An overlooked typeface. A forgotten material. The way a local ritual carries meaning across generations.

Educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and ISIA Urbino, I began my career through independent collaborations before joining Landor in Milan. Drawn by a different creative energy and a context that keeps challenging my references, I later moved to Dubai, where I currently work at Brash.

The best brands, like the best experiences, tend to operate on two levels at once: a surface that draws you in, and a depth that keeps revealing itself. That’s what I’m always reaching for.
