BIO

Born in Turin, Italy, in 1996, and currently living in France.

I am a social designer and artist. I work on transformative projects for and with public institutions, associations and citizens. My practice is based on convivial and collective creation with an accent on image-making and field exploration.
I have a special interest in action-research and participatory approaches.

I speak and write Italian, French and English.
