Over the last 18 years, my career and interests have led me to strengthen my experience in varied but integrated fields of design. Through some of the latest projects I have been in charge of, I have acquired valuable skills in project and production management overseas, frequently traveling to factories in Shenzhen, China, were I have developed strong connections with local manufacturing suppliers. Currently, as co-founder of VIVO Design Studio, I am involved in a number of projects from furniture design to medical equipment, to brand identity, art direction and consumer electronics. As an independent design professional, or as part of a team, I have worked on a wide array of projects, for clients and brands such as Algida, Guzzini, Mares, TVS, AMA, Alessi, Teuco, Fantini, Fusital, iGuzzini, Irsap, GSI, Azzurra, Samsonite, Amplicord, CMB, Vamfarma, Ars-Imago, B.R.I.O., Gruppo DigiTouch, Hdrà group, TIM Telecom Italia, Wind Tre, Chicco, Shampora, Filo, Angelini Holding and many more.
