Problem solving is woven into the fabric of what makes this job fun. My design and graphics skills are multi-faceted and I always try to offer a world of solutions no matter what challenges I face. I tend to be experimental in my approach, pushing the boundaries of motion design to tell captivating stories and deliver creative impact.
I’m so proud to finally release the compilation of my work. All the projects you’re about to see in this cut were designed and animated by me. I was lucky to work on stories about ideas and products that make a real difference in the life of many people. Even more, I was lucky to have amazing clients who trusted my vision to create something unique and full of love. Thanks for watching!
Maybe for most of you Aequilibria doesn’t ring a bell. This small but innovative firm is one of the Italian leader in Carbon Management business. Wait…carbon what?
Their request was a simple as that: “Is there a way to tell people about what carbon management is in less than 90 seconds?”.
As we enter a new decade, we are at a time in our history when stories about the natural world have never been more important. We are the first generation to understand humanity’s impact on nature and the last to be able to protect and restore it.
At the same time sadly environmental communication often fails to reach people’s hearts and minds.
As a community we are currently facing issues that are bound to have a huge impact on our children’s future. Yet problems that should make the front page simply pass unnoticed. There is a deafening silence about it.
The Sixth Extinction is the other side of climate change. However very few people know what it is. And even less people are actually doing something about what is threatening the survival of our own species.
Apparently our brain is wired to ignore complex issues, to regard their consequences as something far in the future and to deny all responsibility related to them.
The solutions? We need new visual metaphors that are meaningful to people and cannot be ignored or dismissed. And we need new messengers.
The first step was to build a story finding elements that really have a connection with us and what we know and experience. For example, polar bears are a widespread image related to the issue of climate change but actually using them as a metaphor is quite useless. Why? Most of us can’t really relate to them because they’re far from everyday life of the majority of people, unless you live in Greenland of course.
The way we perceive and assess risk is linked to our emotional response, rather than charts, figures or data. That’s why we needed irony …and also a bold call to action.
The visual approach which mixes different media that range from edited photos to original illustrations dating back up to the 15the century.

The wonderful team behind Working Title Film Festival needed an opener for the 4th edition of their event.
They set just one rule. The design had to stick to the a specific “space traveller style” that they’ve created for the past editions of the Festival.
The resulting meditative motion picture with the calming audio by Lska is a surreal space-time travel with cinematic echoes. And some unexpected turns.
Who said that an astronaut cannot try to twerk?

Psicodizione, the Italian largest organization dedicated to bringing hope and empowerment to children and adults who stutter asked me to create a video for the International Stuttering Awareness Day. The aim: help raising public awareness of stuttering and starting to de-stigmatize this issue.
