I’m a web and graphic designer original from Turin (Italy). I have been living in Cape Town since 2003, and from 2017 I became also South African citizen.
I currently divide my time almost equally between designing and managing co-design and participatory design projects, with a personal definite preference for the latter. I enjoy embracing challenges and see how good design can improve people’s lives.
While in Italy he worked in the non-profit sector for over 15 years, gaining substantial experience in delivering communication products such as documentaries, magazines and multimedia exhibitions. In South Africa, after a stint as project manager for an international NGO assisting refugees and migrants, I start to work on graphic design and communication activities.
I’m involved in community-driven civic participation project in various civics association and NPO including Friends of Trafalgar Park , Friends of Thandolwethu , Woodstock Residents Association.
I collaborates as a consultant for Universities, organisations and foundations such as the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Cape Town.
I’m one of the promoters of the Civic Action for Public Participation (CAPP) which promoted the Manifesto for a new Civic Participation Bylaw in Cape Town and in drafting a proposal for a new regulation for citizen participation, signed by 23 civic organisations in 2019.
