Hello!

I’m an art director, graphic designer, writer and photographer based in Greenport, NY. I have fifteen years of design experience: I have worked as an art director at design studios in Manhattan, as a creative lead as part of corporate marketing teams, and as a freelance designer. I am a member of AIGA and Freelancers Union.

For the past three years I have been a Design Director at Sia Addison. Prior to that I was the Head of Creative & Storytelling at Eataly North America. My personal design projects have been featured in printed and online media in over thirty countries, while my writing has appeared in various international print and online media outlets.

I grew up in the UK and studied Art History and Italian at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and the Università degli Studi di Pavia in northern Italy. I spent most of my twenties living in Florence, where I worked as a writer, translator, English teacher, art history lecturer, tour guide and deejay. More importantly, I met my wife there. I moved to New York in 2007 after successfully applying to the internship program at The Museum of Modern Art. I’ve been a U.S. citizen since 2016.

I live with my wife and cat in Greenport on the North Fork of Long Island, in a house we designed and built ourselves in 2017. I enjoy egg creams and Campari Soda. I own way too many football shirts and used LPs. My favorite film director is Pedro Almodóvar but my favorite movie is still Back To The Future. I support Leicester City and Fiorentina.
