During high school, I attended what in Italy is called 'Liceo Classico', an old public educational path that is focused on humanistic subjects, including literature, latin, ancient greek, history and philosophy. Despite being the toughest 5 years of my life, I learned the importance of having methodology and critical thinking, two invaluable learnings that I still apply today. With a strong desire to find a more expressive learning path and a quite considerable dose of unconsciousness, I decided to apply for an industrial design university course. I attended the NABA, a fine arts academy in Milan, and despite being one of the very few students without a former artistic background, I graduated from my Bachelor with the highest marks and with a thesis around the blend between the Italian and the foreign handicraft traditions. Besides this, I had the chance to display several of my university projects at design fairs and win a few international prizes along the way. Driven by my interest in facing more concrete challenges, right after my degree, I decided to start pursuing my professional career.
