Illustrated books

I’m always happy to take on a new illustrated book!

I specialize in children’s books for ages 3-9.
I’ve worked with both small and large publishing houses, as well as people who had a book in the drawer and wanted to bring it to life. Each book is a new unique opportunity for research and artistic experimentation.

Let’s work together!

Picture Books and Illustrated Stories

I’ve been working as an illustrator since 2015, collaborating with both Italian and International publishers
to create picture books and educational texts.
I continuously study and refine my artistic and technical skills,
favoring bright, vibrant colors and humorous, expressive characters—my specialty!
I also enjoy working on the graphic design sector, including layout, book formatting, and cover design.

Tell me about your idea—I’d be delighted to help bring it to life!
