My educational background was in Italy where I studied Art, specializing in Animation, Illustration, Cinema & Photography. My professional experience has primarily been in Animation, I’ve spent years creating magic for feature films, video clips, tv series, and advertising.
From my experience, I have acquired the necessary skills to work effectively in a team and contribute my best effort to bring innovative products to life.
My journey in animation spanned across several years, but I decided to explore a fresh challenge in the magical World of Toys and Children’s Books market which eventually led me to establish Alistar Illustration. This successful journey has continued for over two decades.
I grew up along the joyful seaside of the Adriatic Riviera on the Eastern coast of Italy, where I enjoyed endless skies and loved to swim, dreaming to be the captain of a pirate’s ship in the Caribbean Sea!
