Who I am. I grew up in Florence and there I designed my first icon, using Photoshop 6, in a sunny and quite hot Thursday afternoon. I was twelve and one hour later I already knew that was what I wanted to do till a certain day in my lfe. I lived in Florence until the end of my highschool, then I decided to move to London, looking for a different culture and a more keen environment. I think design is not the way something was built, but the way it looks. This is the reason why my writing desk is always untidy but in my design works I love perfection and attention to details. I also love writing stories, watching movies and composing ambient music. So, what I do. I design icons from 16*16 up to 2048*2048px, for keynotes, websites, Mac, Os X, Windows and iPhone apps. I design static and dynamic user interfaces for Mac Os X, Windows and iPhone Platform. The way I work. Every icon/interface work I design has to pass through three different steps before being showed to the world. During the first step the needed icons are discussed with the client until at least a couple of possible graphic solutions are found. The second step starts drawing the drafts and it ends showing the client how the different icons could turn out. In case of a positive answer about one of them, then comes the final step where the chosen draft evolves into a final icon with colors, textures, details and shadows/lights. Just a few more words. When I design an icon I create some art. But if most of art is free of any limit, the only limit of icon design is the final and full client satisfaction. This is the reason why I simply offer an unlimited number of changes.
