Flowers, animals, plants, mushrooms, fruits and veggies... nature is the main inspiration behind my whimsical and dreamy world and is featured in all my illustrations and patterns.
I’m an illustrator and surface designer from Milan, Italy. My studio is currently based in this city, but sometimes I enjoy the digital nomad life. I love to travel and this is my favorite way to collect inspirations for my illustrations. I take pictures of the flora I find and then create my drawings once back in my studio. All my illustrations are hand-drawn with colored pencils, to be after scanned on my laptop and arranged through Photoshop into patterns and illustrations.
I’m a self taught illustrator, who found out an unexpected love for drawing flowers while going through very hard times as a teenager. While studying fashion design, I discovered the world of patterns and surface design, and immediately saw many possible applications of my floral illustrations. After a brief experience working inside the fashion industry, when I lost my job because of COVID I saw it as a chance to take the leap and to build my career around my art.
I founded my own brand in 2021 and, between my travels, since then I saw my artworks featured on wallpapers, home decor, greeting cards and fabrics and worked with small businesses, independent clients and large brands through licensing or commissions. Every moment I just feel so grateful to do what I love for a living and to bring joy, healing and beauty through my art to many people.
