Me, myself and I

Since I was little I had a "sensibility" for the arts. Design wasn't at all my first decision, not even remotely. But call it love at first sight or destiny, but it felt natural to fall upon Graphic Design and later in my career to a digital career. After many trials and errors, internships and other amazing job position, which made me move around Europe.

I'm working as a UX/UI Manager Designer at The Walt Disney Company.
