I was born in Italy 1969, grew up there and studied illustration
at the IED in Milano and at the FH in Darmstadt.
Since 1999 I‘m working with international children’s book editors
from Germany, France, England, Italy, and Korea
and my books are translated in many languages.
I illustrated more than 50 books for young and older kids.
