Hi there! I'm Simone, an independent visual designer and that awesome haircut was just for a bet.

After starting my career as a children's book illustrator, I moved my interests to be aligned more with visual design and arts, mixing short animated films with motion design, graphic posters, pattern design, and illustration for fashion brands. I've participated in several live painting exhibitions as well as group gallery shows as artist with my collective The Ant Theater.

In 2005 I founded my own brand, SketchThisOut®, which I mostly use and art direct and to spread passion for everything which I find visual stimulating. I'm currently living and working in Florence, Italy.

Here it is a short selected list of the brands which I've worked with in the past few years: Nokia, Guess Kids, Wired, Carhartt, Sundek, Kompost Tv, Direct Tv, Sky Tv, New Era, Emirates, Gold, Benchmark, Humanoides Associèes, Timbuktu Mag, Oxford University Press, Usborne Publishing, International Publishers Ltd., Eli, DeAgostini, Giunti, Mondadori, Piemme.

Ciao, sono un visual designer freelance, e quel magnifico taglio di capelli è stata una scommessa.

Dopo avere cominciato la mia carriera come illustratore di libri per bambini, ho ampliato i miei interessi spostando la mia attenzione nel campo del visual design e delle arti applicate che ruotavano intorno ad esso, come motion video, pattern design, fotografia e illustrazione per importanti marchi di abbigliamento. Ho partecipato a mostre ed esibizioni come artista con il mio collettivo The Ant Theater.

Nel 2005 ho fondato il mio marchio, SketchThisOut®, che dirigo ed uso per promuovere la passione per tutto ciò che trovo visualmente stimolante. Attualmente vivo e lavoro in Italia, a Firenze.

Di seguito una lista di clienti selezionati con cui ho collaborato negli ultimi anni: Nokia, Guess Kids, Wired, Carhartt, Sundek, Kompost Tv, Direct Tv, Sky Tv, New Era, Emirates, Gold, Benchmark, Humanoides Associèes, Oxford Univerity Press, Usborne Publishing, International Publishers Ltd., Eli, DeAgostini, Giunti, Mondadori, Piemme.
