Hi, I’m Stefano, an Italian Character Designer with over ten years of experience in animation. Over the years, I’ve worked across Storyboards, Character Design, Visual Development, and 2D FX for studios such as Rovio, Titmouse, and Green Street Pictures. Nowadays, I mostly work as a freelance artist 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.
