Born in Italy, I’ve been interested in games, play, and interactivity since my childhood.

My education path helped me have a mixed background, with an Industrial Computer Technology High School Diploma, a Media Design & Multimedia Arts Bachelor’s Degree, and a Game Design & Theory Master of Science Degree. My Bachelor’s thesis was about the formative, didactic, and mediatic use of live-action role-playing games, while my Master of Science thesis was about the presence of the designer in two-players role-playing games. I wrote a paper focused on why and how players may fall in love through games. I was Teaching Assistant for Miguel Sicart’s Game Design course at the IT University of Copenhagen. I worked as a Game Designer in Denmark for Copenhagen Game Lab and for Character. I currently work in Turin as a Game Designer & Developer for Try A Game. I’ve done game design and development for CMON’s Marvel United and I’ve been game designer and lead developer for Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City.

I have been writing articles on many video game portals since 2012. I helped co-organizing many game-related events including the first editions of Chambercon, various game night events in Milan, and the 2016 and 2017 editions of the Global Game Jam in Copenhagen. I’ve been a volunteer in the Nordic Game Jam 2018. I was one of the judges in the game design competition Game Chef: Pummarola Edition from 2017 to 2019, and in the 2018 edition of the 200 Word RPG Challenge. I was one of the regular guests in the role-playing games focused talk show GDR Unplugged Late Show. I’ve been a judge for the Play4Change 2021contest. Sometime I wrote stuff about the games I play on Medium.

My mixed background brought me to learn skills in many fields, including programming, image editing and post-production, video editing and post-production, video compositing, sound design, game design, play design, user experience design, playtesting, world building, and story writing.
