i am a british-italian creative director and photographer. i like to describe myself as a storyteller, someone who can captivate the audience both visually, and through the power of words.

born and raised in the UK, i became a stylist after obtaining my qualifications at central saint martins in london and milan fashion campus in milan. my eye for style led me to style at the likes of london fashion week, top model uk, zen hair and luxos magazine. growing up in a creative family has meant I have always had a strong interest in style and clothing which enabled me to pursue a career in milan attending international events in milan, florence and london as a fashion writer. with my creative writing skills, i soon became a proficient editor working with reputable global luxury magazines and publications and high-profile brands.

now living in london, my repertoire has evolved into digital marketing, content creation, the implementation of digital strategies, and creative direction. my editorial experience is featured in international media and publishing in fashion, travel, culture, sustainability, ai design, lifestyle and music. more recently, i have extended my creative portfolio through photography, shooting live music events, portraits, and editorial campaigns. projects include the creative direction of promo shoots for emerging musicians such as; yuuf and easy tears, to global menswear campaigns with brands such as the bespoke dudes eyewear and canali.

my experience in marketing and social media creates the perfect blend with photography. i understand not just how to capture compelling visuals, but also how to position them for maximum impact. throughout this journey, both in london and internationally, my experience working in the dynamic world of startups has led me across varying industries within the lifestyle sector including, travel, fashion, wellbeing and design.
