I am a digital native and a culture enthusiast: in my daily routine I surf the internet and set my newsfeeds not to miss any updates or trend topics ranging from arts, cultural management, architecture and design to digital innovation, digital marketing & communication, and high-tech, among my favorite topics. What I found out in my professional life is that I'm good at connecting people, at matching ideas to the right resources, at communicating effectively by person, on paper and online, and generally at “making things happen”. I love to work on art and culture-based participation and communication projects for companies, institutions, and informal realities, with a special focus on community engagement & development. My ideal working playground mixes the digital world with some live action, coordinating online presence management and curation in the field for the best impact on the public, being it for one-shot events or long-term cultural initiatives. I also have a keen interest in social innovation, and I'm willing to do my part in this field.
