Moving works is a distributed design collective developing meaningful projects that generate social and ecological value. The collective is showcasing its projects through this reel, highlighting the various values that motivate them to keep working on a better future. The video reflects these values through the text, music and graphic elements.
"We are constantly moving, affecting, disturbing, activating, challenging, inspiring, building, changing and learning."

Opening titles for a short film titled "Loveless" by Tatiana Butts. This project was made for a motion graphics course during my Bachelor's degree in Creative Technologies, at NABA Milan. Softwares used were Procreate, Adobe Illustrator and After Effects.
Short explanatory motion graphics video for Living Assets company Freeverse.io.
The aim of the video was to explain in very simple terms what the company's mission is. Aimed at the general public, its purpose was to be informative, readable and concise.
A Compositing and visual effects project completed for a VFX exam at NABA with the help of three other classmates (Aurora Zuccarello, Elena Ciuffreda, Angelo Murianni). The process involved shooting the protagonist in the university's media room, taking control over lights, camera and greenscreen. The post-production phase involved keying, compositing, running simulations and color correcting with the softwares Nuke, Houdini and DaVince Resolve.
This ident got selected to be a part of NABA's 2019 promotional marketing and branding content. As a result of winning the competition, it was displayed on the university's 5 meter long led wall in the entrance for 2 years.
A reel containing my colour correction and VFX projects from 2018-2021 during my bachelors' degree in Creative Technologies at NABA, Milan.
I worked on this project as a part of a VFX course during my bachelor's degree. The course was an introduction to Unreal Engine and I learned the fundamentals, such as utilising environmental lighting, generating camera movements and incorporating 3D models from Megascans.
During the pandemic, Grimes released the #GrimesArtKit, a zip file composed of unedited footage for her fans to play around with while in lockdown. This is the result of me experimenting with various compositing styles and techniques on After Effects, first keying the green screen, then adding layers of visual effects.
A final Master's project collaboration between Chris Ernst, Joaquin Rosas, Tatiana Butts and Akasha hub Barcelona. During the inauguration night of the event, participants got to engage with interactive installations, VJ sets and immersive videos all surrounding the topic of tech and nature. We investigate the areas of natural and technological systems through our senses, venturing in hybrid worlds of sounds, visuals and haptics. The project aims to provoke questions about a more sustainable and tangible view of technology, which disrupts the boundary between creator and spectator.

This project is a collaboration between myself and Christian Ernst. We each worked on visual and audio respectively. The music was produced and mixed in Ableton Live, using Magenta, which generated most of the melodies with the help of algorithms. The video was then created using sound reactive particles in TouchDesigner and later added animations + visual effects with After Effects. On Wednesday March 23rd we turned Artificial Constellations into an immersive experience on the IAAC rooftop in Barcelona by projecting it in front of the night sky.
An interactive installation exploring physical & digital mirrors, asking us what makes us human.
I created the installation with Touchdesigner, which retrieved realtime data from a connected Kinect and reflected CGI "digital reflections" below a layer of mirroring film, making the audience's physical and digital selves overlap.
The installation was displayed in the Tufano Gallery in Milan, Italy from June 26th to July 8th 2021.
My updated film showreel for 2023. This video focuses on my videography end editing skills, ranging from music videos, corporate interviews and experimental art projects. The showreel includes color correction, motion graphics and VFX works for bands, institutions and businesses such as Molly Drag, Los Pesos, LittleBig Connection, Woodstaco, NABA Milan and Tropicfeel.
Using footage shot by Tropicfeel videographers, I edited a short video aimed for the company's Instagram page, using a trending reels song (Black Out Days by Phantogram). The aim was to captivate and maintain the viewers' attention while they scroll through Instagram. The final video was cropped to be in portrait mode. The raw footage in this video is property of Tropicfeel, my contribution was the montage, colour correction and motion graphics.
For my Master's degree research trip, my class went to Mallorca, Spain to explore ancient practices, biological artefacts, permaculture sites and the impact of mass tourism on the landscape. I got the opportunity to document the entire trip by taking photos and videos, which I later turned into a collaborative montage featuring the voices of my classmates.
The Almost Useless Machine project was a 1-week challenge during my Masters' degree in which we had to implement our electronics & digital fabrication skills. My group decided upon making a "circular machine" which magnetically picked up metal balls from a pool of water and dropped them down a slide of biomaterials, progressively polluting the water. We wanted to convey a sense of absurd cyclical system which is designed to pollute rather than recycle. In addition to help building the machine, I made the final presentation video too.
In my final Masters' thesis, I realised that all the projects I had worked on over the past year were attempting to answer one general question: How can humans live in harmony with tech and nature? Throughout the program, I explored various techniques, topics, mediums and ideas to try to answer this question. The various themes I explored the most were: Resilience & Radicality, Digital Fabrication, Environmental Conservation, New Materials (bio-based), Open Source Innovation, Biomimicry, Climate Literacy, Sensorial Experiences and Creative Collaboration.
Official music video for Canadian musician Molly Drag. The video was filmed, edited and color corrected by me, with Haley A. as the main protagonist. I wanted to create a contrast between past and present using cold and warm hues despite having shot everything on the same day. The video was edited and color corrected in Premiere Pro.
Music video for Los Angeles based band, Los Pesos. Starring Jessica sun bathing by the swimming pool, the video was inspired by a MIU MIU commercial featuring Kia Gerber (2016), The process was filmed, edited and color corrected by me, following the vintage mood of the song.

Barcelona x Presta is part of a series of Superhi projects. Named after a valve, Presta is a bike sharing system implemented in various cities across the globe. Using the brand elements provided, I created 4 posts for Presta’s instagram.

I was born in Montreal, Canada but raised in Europe, mainly in Italy. Moving around and going to an international school allowed me to become fluent in six languages.
I graduated from my Bachelor's degree in Creative Technologies at NABA, Milan in 2021. There, I developed skills in video editing, 3D modelling, motion graphics, visual effects, UX/UI design, compositing, creative coding and multimedia art. My final Bachelor project was an interactive installation using TouchDesigner and Kinect motion detection technology, allowing me to graduate with Honours.
During this time, I also worked on freelance photography & video editing projects involving indie bands and small businesses wanting to grow a digital presence.
In June 2022, I completed my Master's degree in Design for Emergent Futures at IAAC, Barcelona. It focused on digital fabrication skills and had a speculative approach to design. The course's goal was to create a new generation of Designers, where innovation and sustainability are put first.
Now I am working on projects intersecting art, technology, and environmental sustainability using my creative skills to make a positive impact & raise awareness around issues that I deem to be important.
