About

I, talking about myself, in a page designed by me.

My journey as multidisciplinary designer, begins in 2012 in Italy at the Academy of Fine Arts of L’Aquila. Enrolling in the academy, would change my world completely and I would fall in love with design.

After graduating in Graphic Arts & Planning, I moved all the way to New York, where I achieved a bachelor degree in Graphic Design at the Adelphi University.

Since then, I have worked in both agencies and in-house environments, across a wide range of media and industries.

Overheard

I worked with Francesco for almost 2 years and I have always been impressed by his work output. His approach to client briefs is amazing and he has managed to capture their essence through his creative ideas, even when they weren’t very clear.

Francesco is the embodiment of "we get it done, together". He has to juggle a lot of different tasks and briefs, and yet, he is always quick to respond, enthusiastic to help and above all dedicated to creating oustanding work.
Kathryn Wormald
Scrum Master | Vodafone
Francesco is a pleasure to work with. He's highly creative, willing to go the extra mile to deliver great results for the client, always keen to develop his skills and take them to the next level.
Michelle Rumney
Account Manager | Crowd
Francesco goes above and beyond to collaborate and answer the brief to consistent high standards. His creative is always interesting and engaging - he understands briefs and goes a step further to improve on them where he sees fit.
