After several years at an agency, he shifted to freelance work, producing books and magazines, designing exhibitions, and creating ads for brands and events.
Since then, he's worked for different magazines and newspapers such as Il Manifesto, La Repubblica, and L’Espresso, where he's held the position of art director since 2018. He spent 12 years teaching history of graphic design and infographics at the IED in Rome and currently teaches editorial design at the Scuola di giornalismo in Urbino.
