Biography:

I'M A GRAPHIC DESIGNER BASED IN LONDON. I WAS BORN IN ITALY AND THEN MOVED TO THE UK ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR A PUBLISHER IN CAMBRIDGE, AND THEN FOR SMARTFUSION, A MARKETING AGENCY BASED IN LONDON. I HAVE NOW MOVED TO WINDSOR WHERE I WORK FOR DESIGN AGENCY OLIIS. I HAVE WORKED ON PROJECTS FOR BRANDS SUCH AS NOKIA (UK & US), 3 MOBILE, HP, EBAY, AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN INVOLVED IN FREELANCE PROJECTS FOR LOCAL COMPANIES AND PRIVATES. MY FIRST STEPS IN THE CREATIVE WORLD WERE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY, AND STILL I TRY TO INCORPORATE IT INTO MY DESIGNS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCE IN PRODUCING WORK FOR PRINT AND DIGITAL, FROM BUSINESS CARDS TO SHOP INTERIORS, FROM DIGITAL BANNERS TO FULLY WORKING WEBSITES. I LOVE BEING INVOLVED IN NEW PROJECTS AND WOULD ALWAYS CONSIDER NEW WORK AND COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ARTISTS. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND PLEASE GET IN TOUCH.

If you pay someone peanuts you get monkeys

"If you pay someone peanuts you get monkeys" D. Ogilvy

One of the best phrases I've heard lately. Yesterday I went to London and paid an unavoidable visit to the Magma shop. I bought Ogilvy's book "Confessions of an Advertising Man" and started reading it straight away. It seems very interesting, even if I'm only a graphic designer and haven't got much to do with advertising. Althought if you produce material for any client, I think you should know what attracts people and why.
As soon as I finish reading the book I will write a more detailed (personal) review.
