Hi, I’m Stefano, an Italian Character Designer and Character Design Supervisor with 12 years in animation. I’ve worked across Character Design, Storyboards, Visual Development and 2D FX for Rovio, Titmouse and Green Street Pictures, where I most recently led a team of five designers on Netflix’s Dealies. I design in Photoshop for Toon Boom and Flash pipelines, working remotely from my studio in Tuscany.
When I’m not drawing, I’m usually listening to music, watching movies, messing with vintage audio gear, or spending time with my dog, Leone.
Thanks for stopping by.
