Right, now something about me. How would you describe yourself in a block of text?
I don't know to be honest, so I'll babble for a while.
As far as I remember I've always loved to "create". Since I was a kid I used to spend hours with pencils, crayons, paper, glue and scissors.
I've never been happy enough with someonelse's "stuff".
I'm Italian and I moved over here in the UK in 2005, when I started working at Lightmaker ( www.lightmaker.com ).
I've been working there as a lead creative until April 2009, creating, designing and following each project from the conceptual stage to the final delivery to the client.
I have 6 years experience in the web industry and I've been dealing with clients such as Sony, EA games, Adobe, Cadbury, Nickelodeon, David Beckham Academy, TT Games and Scholastic to name a few.
In 2008, I won an FWA with Guinness World Records mobile game's microsite ( www.guinnessworldrecordsgame.com ) and I received really good feedback from all the clients and project managers I've been working with.
I have a solid knowledge of web design, Flash, Animation, Photoshop and graphic design...but I also have good skills in HTML / Web Usability, motion graphic (After Effects), photography, illustration ( I've always been into the music scene as well, playing in bands and designing cd / vinyl artworks, posters and flyers for gigs and parties ) and digital music / sound engineering.
I define myself as quite peculiar and creative.
I love being busy and I'm fine sleeping just 5 hours a day spending as much time as I can putting great effort in my job, my passion for design and art, my band, working out at the gym and my 100s interests ( I'm a collector maniac...from 40s / 50s horror movies to victorian books, from vinyl toys to punkrock records, anything from the 80s and tattoos ).
You can see from my portfolio that I am not restrained to just one area, I love them all and if I can push my skills still further, then this brings me joy! I have the maximum respect for independently skilled people, one drive, one focus, but its just not me, I love to be involved on all levels, from pioneering new ideas with new technologies to getting fulfilment from chopping up some page designs.
