I build brands, stories and visual systems — living somewhere at the seam of strategy, storytelling and craft.

A quick way in

Two of my best-performing posts — a fast intro to how I think and how I make.

Chapter 01 — Italy

Milan.

2025 — 2026
Milan, IT

Specialising in Media. A chapter defined by creative friction and building deep, collaborative connections. Four projects below — three live builds, one campaign film.

Project 01 · Bocconi

Trio Hèrmes — a piano trio's home on the web.

Trio Hèrmes are three Italian musicians named Ensemble of the Year 2023, touring from Carnegie Hall to a 17-day run across China. Working in a team of five, we built them a fresh communication strategy, and I developed the website you're scrolling through.

The story we found was a quiet one: they didn't need a bigger audience, they needed a steadier rhythm. The strategy is built around five content pillars, including a Reel series called "She Wrote This" — small stories of women composers whose history was nearly erased, ending with the trio playing what survived.

Jamly — a city's music scene, made visible.

Jamly turns a city's informal music scene into a living map — every jam, gig, open mic and collaborator call, pinned in real time. We designed the platform together as a team of five, and I developed the app prototype you're swiping through.

We started with thirty musicians in Milan and one question: how do you actually find your next collaborator? The answers came back through DMs, WhatsApp threads and mutual friends. Jamly is what happens when you take the way a city's music already moves and finally give it shape.

Project Årange — åpenness at the heart of Roskilde.

A simulated crowdfunding campaign — built as a Bocconi coursework brief, not a live raise — proposing a €35,000 goal to expand accessible spaces at Roskilde Festival: sensory rooms and inclusion tents that let everyone share the orange feeling. "Å" reads as the Danish åben — open. Built across a semester with a team of seven; I edited the campaign film and designed the launch posters.

The proposed strategy turns donors into co-creators: a reward-based model on a hybrid platform, a scavenger-hunt activation across Copenhagen and sustained engagement through community stories.

BSAS — Milan's art month, designed monthly.

As Social Media Manager for the Bocconi Students' Arts Society, I lead a team of ten across Instagram and LinkedIn — overseeing strategy, calendar, design and voice. The posts below are pulled live from Instagram — swipe each carousel to see the slides.

Chapter 02 — Sweden

Lund.

2023 — 2024 · Exchange · Lund University

A year that quietly rewired how I think. Scandinavia taught me restraint: less, said well, lands harder. My visual philosophy draws heavily from the functional, minimalist aesthetic of Scandinavian design and brands like HAY.

Role · Instagram Ambassador

Lund University — 60k followers.

Scripted, shot, edited and published reels for Lund's official Instagram, alongside social-planning sessions with the central comms team. Two of the reels I made are embedded below.

Case 01 · USYD

Soundora — music, beyond language.

A music discovery concept built for emotion-first cultural exploration. Spotify recommendations tend to reproduce listening habits — Soundora asks how you want to feel, not what you usually like, using Cultural Context Cards to make unfamiliar music welcoming.

Designed and built end-to-end as a solo project: three early concepts user-tested with peers, leading to a working React build featuring a Daily Challenge, Soundora DJ and a world map of explored genres.

WanderWell — mindful exploration.

A carbon-conscious travel platform for travellers who care — but who are not Greta Thunberg. We translated the gap between intent and behaviour into a working product: booking + gamified tracking + a climate-action goal. Sustainability stops being a sermon and becomes social status.

I led a team of five end-to-end — originating the concept, setting the strategic direction and driving the creative across the brand, UI and venture pitch. One consistent visual language from logo through to SAM/TAM.

What I bring.

01 — Marketing

Strategy that moves.

Brand positioning, social strategy, e-commerce, market research.

02 — Content

Made, not commissioned.

Photography, video, graphics, copy — idea and execution in the same hands.

03 — Design Thinking

Curious, in six languages.

User research, cross-cultural communication, constant iteration.

Let's make
something good.

Currently based in Milan; relocating to Rotterdam in September. Open to internships across brand, content and creative strategy.
