Born in Milan, he worked as an educator with minors in group homes and schools for over 10 years.

In Italy he worked with Corriere della Sera, Domus, Icon Design, Il Sole 24 ore and many other publications.

In 2017, his portrait series “Quick Portraits” was awarded the Gold Medal of the Society of Illustrators, New York. He currently teaches Editorial Illustration at IED in Turin and at Mi-Master in Milan.
