Born and raised in sunny Palermo, Sicily; my interest in the internet, the web and graphic design started when I was 14.
Years later, after fulffilling my dream of attending Europe's best design school, IED - Istituto Europeo di Design, I arrived in Australia.
I am currently based in Melbourne, Victoria, and I'm always looking for new challenges and experience.
