Summary

I hold a Master's degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Reggio Calabria, Italy, the hometown of Versace. There, I developed both my artistic vision and technical skills. Subsequently, I joined XPPen Europe, a leading company in the graphics tablet industry, as a Content Creator Manager. In this role, I was responsible for managing the company's social media accounts, creating storytelling and videography, editing global promotional videos, and developing content for social media, paid media, and advertising, including motion graphics. I established contacts with influential figures in the art and drawing community worldwide and formed partnerships with individuals and schools. Additionally, I led the advertising production team in creating engaging and innovative campaigns that showcased the company's products and values.

Before my tenure at XPPen, I honed my lighting skills at Wuhan Shangxiu Performing Arts Co., mastering software such as WYSIWYG, GrandMA2, Depence R3, GrandMA 3D, and Vectorworks. I was involved in creating precise layouts, programming cues, and collaborating with teams to deliver remarkable performances.

Passionate about merging creativity with technology, I am eager to join an innovative and collaborative team where I can enrich the environment with my expertise and enthusiasm.
