Creative director
& brand strategist
Hi, I'm Fabrizio, and I currently cover the role of Visual Design Team Lead and Art Director at Arduino, where I focus on brand systems, visual storytelling, and the intersection of brand strategy and design direction. I'm drawn to companies that champion thoughtful branding, clarity in communication, and a sense of creative integrity.
I like working where structure meets a bit of rebellion, and where there’s room for systems to breathe and brands to feel human. That’s the mindset I bring when building or reshaping identities.
With over 12 years of experience in the design field, I’ve worked across branding, illustration, motion, and campaign direction shaping visual identities and stories that last.
