This is me (for the most)

Yes, that’s me, the one who’s looking at the title.

Talking about my life, it’s like when you are at the supermarket and you have to choose which type of milk to buy. You want the fattest one or the skimmed milk?

I can’t include everything, of course, but I can tell you my major events, my feelings and what I’m doing right now.

1999. This is my year.

At the end of the XXth century I came to the world with no idea of I was going to do from that moment on. I just remember a little and iper-active version of myself, that in the last months made me question if I suffer from ADHD or similar.

Anyway, my whole childhood has always been focused on visual arts, including comics, cinema, photography and basically everything analogic or digital that can create some excitement in your eyes and your mind.

My family is strongly related to photography, and even if my father is not as famous as Steve McCurry, I can easily say that all my passion for this art comes from him.

I’m ambitiously chaotic

I start to many projects every time. When I was in high-school I couldn’t control my impulsive feeling of creativity, and this led me to a lot of failures. I created collectives, photo-projects, brands and collaborations that miserably failed.

It was just a matter of mindfulness, and I was a real mess back then. Luckily I found my own way of organising both my personal and business events. This brings you, my dear friend, to the last point.

What’s up with me?

At the moment I live with my girlfriend Luna in Copenhagen. (Why Denmark you might say? That’s another story I’ll tell asap) I have a full-time job and I’m investing on myself. As I told you in the previous paragraph I found a way out of chaos, and I’m still ambitious. Just two projects are accompanying me, my independent magazine (Jugaad Magazine) and my will of telling stories. To do this I’ll need everybody’s help, starting from my friends and family to you, people who craft and dream.

Thank you.
