Work Experience
In the Netherlands I continued to refine my skills in motion design, taking art direction of complex projects, following the entire creative process and collaborating with 3D artists for the production. In addition, I worked on UI/UX projects, designing pages and sections of complex websites, or conducting analysis or existing ones to improve the usability and the user flow.
I worked with the design team on brand identity projects, social media campaigns and motion design videos. I worked on videos for clients such as Scarpa, Arena di Verona and Max Mara, working closely with photographers and videomakers.
After I graduated, I started a 6-month internship at Heads collective, an agency of an integrated communications agency. Where I was able to learn from professionals and worked on various visual identity and digital design projects.
