[languages]
As an Italian designer who learned English through music and movies and Portuguese while living in Lisbon, I’m proud to be trilingual.
This diverse linguistic background not only allows me to communicate seamlessly with clients from different cultures, but it also shapes the way I approach design—bringing in multiple perspectives and a rich understanding of how design can connect with diverse audiences.
