He began his journey in the field of 3D in 2019 with CAD software, working as a technical modeler in a manufacturing company, then his passion for video games was born: he learned mesh-based modeling and animation in his free time. In 2022 he works professionally with Kodama Studio as a 3D artist, then with Castello Inc. on a VR project as a 3D animator/rigger. He likes to create highly contrasting animations, for example to add dynamism and energy to mild-mannered and plump-looking characters; he continually perfects himself and highlights all aspects of animation within the projects he works on.

Devoted to concept art, drawing and storytelling, she’s a very methodical and terribly precise nerd. She loves stories, whether they are video games, books or films. And above all, she believes with all her heart that art is saving us, everyday and in all its forms.
Born in Ancona, a city on the Italian coast, he is a musician, sound designer and programmer, active as a freelance professional in electronic music, multimedia and software development in Italy, Europe and Japan. He draws great inspiration from nature and technology, and his interest in interactive media has led him to pursue creating meaningful experiences through audio and programming.
Nerd to the core, he chose to work in the video game sector because he would do it in his free time anyway. Passionate about TV series, video games and board games, he is always looking for new tools or niche consoles. Graduated in computer science, after having held various jobs in his field of study, he has been working as a video game programmer and as a front-end developer for more than two years, always giving priority to interactivity.
