A word collector with curiosity about the world
As children, some people are fascinated by musical notes, engines or colours. I have always been captivated by words. Words to read or write, words with subtle differences in meaning to learn and remember.
I find the idea that a suitable word exists to describe any situation or feeling, to define reality or imagine possible worlds, is immensely exhilarating.
I am a curious, ironic observer; I willingly listen to other people and try to put myself in their shoes. In communication I found a dimension where these elements set the cogs of creativity, strategy and writing in motion. I develop ideas around a brief and put my brain to work to find associations of ideas that ignite my creativity, and begin to write or sketch out a customized plan.

From a passion to a profession, my profile in brief
Since 2011 I have worked as a freelance out of my office in Turin, with the invaluable assistance of my feline muses, Polly and Dharma. My clients come from all over Italy, and sometimes abroad, and I love getting together with them for a meeting or to take part in an event with them. Curiosity about new situations and tenacity in honing my skills have been constants throughout my working life.
Following a Master’s in Public Relations, the fashion industry offered me a chance to make full use of my passion for writing. I took my first step on the ladder as a copywriter and press officer at Salvatore Ferragamo, the iconic made in Italy brand, where I overcame my blank page anxiety by writing descriptions of splendid hand-crafted shoes and accessories, press releases and interviews, and learned the dynamics of communication.
I subsequently worked as press officer and copywriter for other textile, fashion and Made in Italy companies, and also handled corporate communication. As a press officer I developed ways to manage news and cultivate relations with journalists, while at public relations and event planning agencies I learned team work and how to use a mix of media and tools to customize communication.
In recent years, social media, the web and blogging have expanded the boundaries of professional communication. I welcomed this evolution, the need to change perspective, assimilate the fundamentals of web marketing, online communication and SEO-oriented texts.
