About

I’m a Fashion Styling and Communication graduate from ​IED Milan, with a focus on turning creative ideas into ​visually compelling narratives. My background in ​communication has sharpened my ability to organize and ​execute projects with precision while maintaining a strong ​sense of creativity.


I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where ​different perspectives can fuel innovation. I’m always open ​to new opportunities that challenge me to grow, and I’m ​eager to bring my passion for fashion, communication, and ​creative storytelling to a forward-thinking team.

Main project

My latest work, and the one I am most proud of, is Etilene ​Studio, my thesis project. It is my communication agency that ​intersects my two fields of study: fashion and psychology.


Etilene is an atypical communication agency with the goal of ​enhancing and raising awareness of designers' talent through ​archetypal branding.

A brand is associated with one or more of these archetypes ​through the completion of two surveys. Thanks to the results, ​it is possible to improve and increase awareness, identity, ​communication strategies, and content production for any ​brand.
