I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts and Performing Disciplines from the Academy of Fine Arts of Reggio Calabria (Italy), where I developed my artistic vision and technical skills. After graduating, I joined XPPen Europe, a leading company in the digital drawing industry, as a planning and promotion manager. In this role, I managed the company's operational accounts, established contacts with influential figures in the art and drawing community worldwide, and formed partnerships with individuals and schools. I also headed the advertising production team, creating engaging and innovative campaigns that showcased the company's products and values.
Before joining XPPen, I worked as a lighting technician at Wuhan Shangxiu Performing Arts Company, a renowned theater company in China. There, I gained invaluable experience and knowledge in professional lighting design and control software, such as WYSIWYG Layout Tools, GrandMA2, Depence R3, GrandMA 3D, and Vectorworks. I crafted accurate scene layouts and lighting simulations, programmed and ran complex lighting cues, and collaborated with directors, actors, and stage crew to create stunning and memorable performances. I am passionate about combining my creative and technical skills to produce captivating and immersive experiences for audiences. I am eager to join a team that values innovation, collaboration, and diversity, and to contribute to its success with my expertise and enthusiasm.
