| 1999 | When graduating in Transport Design from Coventry University Ken Okuyama visited my degree show and ask me to do a stage at Pininfarina. This led on to me eventually being employed in their product design studio. |
|---|---|
| 2002 | Went to work in the USA on a Polaris snowmobile project and got much more involved on the engineering and innovation side than I likely would have on a car design project. |
| 2003 | Next a product design studio in Manhattan, NY, called A2 inc. This was a fast paced environment in keeping with its location and gave big demands regarding creativity, productivity, problem solving and variety of projects. |
| 2004 | Was drawn to work on something which I had developed a passion for - detail design. Movado Group hired me as a designer for their Tommy Hilfiger then later Coach watch brands in Paramus, New Jersey. |
| 2005 | A return to Europe and automotive design; Shanghai Automotive in Coventry, UK. Here I worked as a consultant and gained plenty of experience styling full size clay in addition to smaller proposals. |
| 2007 | Took the opportunity to work at Volvo Truck in Gothenburg, Sweden where I was hired as a consultant to work on interior design. I specialised in the design of dashboard and driver controls or HMI. |
CAD
Professionally the software I use is mainly Photoshop, ArtRage, Illustrator, Rhino. I also use Solidworks for freelance product design and CATIA v.5 in for automotive interior detail.
Languages
I can speak Italian, some French and Spanish and a bit of Japanese.
