About
I was born in 1980 and I live in Italy, in a small town called Rovigo. After finishing my university exams in 2003, I worked as Paolo Bazzani’s assistant in Milan. I graduated in 2005 from Isia in Urbino with a dissertation on Gregorian chant and symbols in medieval music. I collaborated with Bcpt Associati in Perugia, and then began a freelance career. In 2010 I participated in the European Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs project, hosted by Creando, graphic design studio in Santander. In 2012 I obtained a master’s degree in journalism and science of communication. I’m a member of Aiap and a member of Co.Mo.Do. In 2013 I founded Ida Studio, a communication design studio that I still manage today. Since 2018 I have been a lecturer professor at the University of Ferrara.

I am a member of AIAP and Co.Mo.Do.
I’m interested in letterpress, illustration and information architecture.
