How it all started
In 2015, while still dreaming of becoming an illustrator, I’ve started making things for other people’s brands, and somewhere between briefs, decks, and photo and video productions, I never really stopped.
I’m an art director, which is really shorthand for illustrator, brand designer, UI designer, pre-production nerd, and creative strategist. Ask me what I actually do and you’ll get a different answer depending on the week.
Step by step
2015-2020 / Young Digitals, Padua, IT
Graphic Designer → Art Director
2020-2022 / Different (now Be Closer), Padua + Milan, IT
Art Director
2022-present / Freelance, major collaborations with Crafted (IT), Nimblebot (US), Fortissimo (IT), .exd (IT)
Art + Creative Director and other fancy labels
Personal projects & other stuff
Alongside that, I build visual identities for bands and music festivals (Rise Festival Padova, TA GA DA), draw football-related stuff (Calcio Sensibile), and dump whatever doesn’t fit anywhere else onto @lazuli.psd.
Off the clock, I’m based in Padua, Italy, mildly obsessed with getting details right, always down for good music, a beer, and a chat about movies, Star Wars (in case you didn’t notice I’m a fan) and nerdy stuff in general.
