About me

I'm a passionate and hardworking creative mind.
I graduated as an illustrator/graphic designer, but my passion for theatre, cinema and costumes pushed me to look for my first job in the performing arts industry. I worked for few years at La Scala theatre in Milan (Italy) as dresser and wardrobe assistant and during those years I developed proficiency in costume making and vision in designing.

Later on, due to my husband’s work commitments, we moved around the world quite a bit. During this time, I focused my working energies on graphic design, but my passion for textiles has never diminished and travelling has enabled me to learn new languages and different cultures and perspectives. During the summer of 2013, we moved to England where I worked as Costume designer and wardrobe supervisor for a local Theatre company and on other projects (films, music videos etc.). I moved to Toronto in August 2021 and I hope to restart soon to work in the industry.

I'm a good team worker, organized and very sociable, I love working with other people and I strongly believe that collaboration and learn from others are the key for a successful working environment. I am an all-around naturally creative person, who loves to be constantly on the move and is always ready for new exciting experiences and challenges and happy to learn new skills.

I have a real and genuine passion for costumes, film, theatre and the performing arts industry in general and I can’t imagine myself in a different working environment. I really hope to be able to work for many years ahead and keep feeding my passion for such a wonderful creative world.
