He is currently collaborating on a permanent basis with Spinelli Architetti and also works as a freelance 3D/archivisual modeler.

The most useful object that accompanies me during my work is certainly my Mac mini M1 (2020), a machine that is as small as it is high-performance.In many years of rendering, 3D modeling sessions and post-production on Photoshop I have never found such a powerful machineAnd fast during all stages of processing an image or video.

› How do you spark creativity?

My creativity is stimulated by many things I have here in my home studio!I'm a big collector of Lego and comics (mainly The Amazing Spider-Man and Lupo Alberto) and I built my own environment full of these objects that inspire me every time.I often take a break from work and leaf through some Spiderman tables or build some small Lego sets to reset my mind.

› What's the first thing you do when you sit down to work for the day?

The first thing I do when I sit down is definitely open my emails and check the backups on Time Machine (essential for having a copy of all the work done).Obviously all this while I drink an espresso and sip some fresh water from my bottle.
