Creative Director / Conceptual Writer

About

I am a true believer in the power of creativity to build a better future where we can all live in a more equal and nourishing society. I have a passion for complex projects inspiring deep industry shifts and the creation of new ways of working.

Currently working as a cultural producer for arts & culture organizations and actively partnering with audacious US companies focused on building today the best possible tomorrow, not just for themselves but for everyone. I’ve recently founded Differ Studio: a creative consultancy for brands and culture organizations passionate about these goals.

I am a passionate advocate for cross-functional teamwork. As a lecturing professor at Milan’s Politecnico, I research to make brainstorming more inclusive. By structuring them like Improv Comedy sessions, we help subject matter experts tap into their natural creative intuition, leading to powerful, transformative ideas.
