About

I love working with ambitious brands that want to make an impact in culture.

I believe in creativity rooted in strategy and insights.
Observations that twist a cold piece of data. 
Ideas so simple that come to life in a sentence.

That’s the type of work I have been chasing with a dumb smile on my face since 2008.
When I moved from my hometown Brescia to Milan. After starting at major agencies such as Grey, JWT, and Y&R I had a brief stint in Sydney and longer ones at Ogilvy Singapore and LePub Milan.

I’m now in my season 2 at Ogilvy Singapore as Creative Director, where I work with regional and global brands like Coca-Cola and Unilever. 

When I am not making ads, I enjoy trying to keep my plants alive, digging weird music at record stores and travelling around the world with my wife.
