Co-creator and founder of the original Bozzetti brand and author of several proprietary designs implemented into production.
Practical knowledge acquired in a systematic creative act of design, with all the consequences of observation and active participation in the realisation process, enriched by conclusions from the analysis of one's own actions, is a suitable way of acquiring the qualifications necessary to conduct didactic activities in the field of design. The scale, scope and variety of the themes developed, the complexity of the situations and design contexts encountered in one’s own activities, builds a workshop and a palette of practical experiences suitable for moving freely into the creative process, as well as imparting knowledge and shaping the creative personality of the Students.
He considers a pencil and a sheet of paper to be the basic tools of a designer.
