Hello!

I’m an award-winning graphic designer, art director, writer and photographer based in New York. I have fifteen years of design experience: I have worked as an art director at design studios in Manhattan, as a creative lead as part of corporate marketing teams, and as a freelance designer. I am a member of AIGA and Freelancers Union.

My design projects have been featured in printed and online media in over thirty countries, including The Guardian, The Huffington Post, Fast Company, Corriere della Sera, The Telegraph, Pagina/12, El Mundo, GQ Brasil, Village Voice, Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York, 8by8, Mundial and Pix11 News. My writing has appeared in Mundial, The Culture Division, KitMag, In Bed With Maradona, Rivista Inutile, and British Ideas Corporation. As a freelance designer my clients have included InStyle, AGCO, Regeneron, General Electric, Marriott Traveler and Le Coq Sportif.

For three years I was the art director at Reitdesign, where I worked on projects for Javits Center, Barnes & Noble, Global Pet Expo, YMCA, Douglas Elliman and the New York International Auto Show. Prior to that I was a senior graphic designer at Creative Source, where clients included Canon, Deutsche Bank, Metropolitan College of New York and the Metropolitan Transit Authority. More recently I was the Head of Creative & Storytelling at Eataly North America. I am currently a Design Director at Addison.

I grew up in the UK and studied Art History and Italian at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and the Università degli Studi di Pavia in northern Italy. I spent most of my twenties living in Florence, where I worked as a writer, translator, English teacher, art history lecturer, tour guide and deejay. More importantly, I met my wife there. I moved to New York in 2007 after successfully applying to the internship program at The Museum of Modern Art. I’ve been a U.S. citizen since 2016.

I live with my wife and cat in Greenport, New York. I enjoy egg creams and Campari Soda. I own way too many football shirts and used LPs. My favorite film director is Pedro Almodóvar but my favorite movie is still Back To The Future. I support Leicester City and Fiorentina.
