Editorial and information visual designer.

Since 2008, I’ve worked as art director for IL, the monthly newsmagazine of Il Sole 24 ORE, the leading financial and economical newspaper in Italy. Before I’ve worked for five years as senior designer for Leftloft, a design studio based in Milan and New York. In 2005, I took specialist courses in graphic design in London. In 2007, I completed a masters degree in industrial design at the Politecnico of Milan, graduating with distinction, with a thesis on newspaper design. I’m professional journalist since 2010.
