# In short

Born with a passion for fine arts. I hated technology and dreamed of becoming a painter.

But the ways of the Digital are infinite,and now I deal with visual communication and I am a mum.

# Something more

I finished Arts High School P. Luigi Nervi of Ravenna, visual arts course.

I perfected my pictorial sensitivity at the art studio of Alfonso and Nicola Vaccari.

In 1999 I enrolled the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, for a painting course held by Massimo Pulini. I ended my studies with a thesis on experimental typography. Simultaneously, I attended a course of design and communication at the Project University of Reggio Emilia.

During my university years I worked at various studios of visual communications where I explored the concept of design culture. For a short period I approached the world of footwear working at the company Ego Project of Forli. Thanks to this experience I realized that visual communication was a my future.

In 2005 I started working freelance. In 2007 I opened, together with Giorgia Venditto a small studio of visual arts, Sbuccio Design. In 2010 I felt the need to “do something more”. This need lead me to become mother and to meet Licia.

In 2011 I decided to “climb Everest”: in July Leonardo was born, in September , together with Licia and Andrea, we opened the doors to Progetto Admiral, a multidisciplinary studio of visual communication, design and video. We work together to give a value to brand identity, through marketing strategies, taking advantage of human skills and digital technology, passing from the web to 3D to video.

In 2012, thanks to a continual cultural confrontation with Licia, #Salottino was created: a meeting point where people gather periodically to dialogue and converse on current cultural and digital subjects.
