Welcome to my personal website!

What to say... fashion, design and graphics are ever been a passion! My artistic education begins since high school by attending the Art College of Arezzo fashion class, proceeding in Florence with Polimoda (one of the most established fashion schools for stylists in Italy) with specialization on man/woman fashion design.

As excellent student, I won a few important design contests supported and not from Polimoda and winning prizes even from Daimler Chrysler , La Perla and Lineapelle.

After an apprenticeship as fashion designer with Monnalisa (important children fashion house), I worked as junior designer in Milan for Miu Miu, where I learned about knitwear and jersey design.

After this very important period for my professional skills, I lived in Florence where I worked as freelance designer for some firmes.
Since two years I oversee for Miniconf (well established fashion company for children) the junior female line of Sarabanda, starting with trends studies and fabric research coming to the finished product.

Recently I collaborated with publishing house SixtyFour to create some fashion graphics for the book series Graphicstore and baby appearel (Kidstore), developing vector illustrations for the dvd enclosed in the books. 
Actually Fashionstore Girl n.1 is in outbound as my personal work for Sixtyfour.
I frequently collaborate with Net Style, web agency and creative studio in Arezzo specialized in developing dinamic web-sites (as this one!) creating illustrations and giving my personal look advices. 
I made this site by mixing methods as hand drawings, photo-retouch and vectorial illustrations and commissioning the setting part to those who know about much better than me....

In these years I developed a big intrest for for anything related to computer graphics, vectorial illustration and character design.
In fact I am totally at ease with digital graphics softwares as Corel Painter X, Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 on both MacOs X and
Windows platforms.

In my portfolio you will find some of my works developed in time, you can choose between digital illustrations, hand drawings, fashion design and the newcomer "The Young Granny", a funny experiment wich is most an italian "philosophy of life" than everything else.

If you come to this point, you must have a look in the section PORTFOLIO! 
In exchange for this...I promise I will update it as often as I can!
