My journey began with a degree in Public Relations, followed by further studies in marketing, and years dedicated to honing my skills in photography and videography. What truly drives me is creating meaningful content that brings your ideas and vision to life.
Alongside my creative work, I’ve developed my own method of phototherapy—#RealYouTherapy®️—a method designed to help people feel confident, seen, and authentic through photography.
I participate in events and photography exhibitions across Italy, contribute to magazines, and illustrate books. Right now, I’m deeply immersed in a personal project close to my heart: a book and photobook titled “Frammenti di Resilienza”—a tribute to strength, rebirth, healing, transformation and resilience of women who have experienced violence . The book will be translated into several languages to connect with and inspire a broader audience.
I love bringing ideas to life through images, with care, attention, and soul.
As a teenager and young adult, I wrote articles and stories. After a long break, I’ve returned to writing with renewed passion. Today, I write essays.
Project Statement
Frammenti di Resilienza is more than just a book—it is a photographic and literary journey into the heart of personal transformation. Through a deeply intimate narrative, it shares the story of a woman who has endured and emerged from the trauma of a toxic relationship. Each photograph and each written fragment unveils a piece of that journey, capturing not only the pain, but also the strength, healing, and rebirth that follow.
The book invites readers to reflect, as it guides them through a raw emotional arc—from the shadows of abuse to the rediscovery of inner light. Every chapter is carefully constructed around a visual narrative that mirrors the stages of this human experience, allowing readers to feel the emotional nuances before, during, and after the violence.
Each page reveals a fragment of resilience—a step on the path to reclaiming self-worth and personal identity. Together, the images and texts create a moving dialogue, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and nurturing the inner resources that enable survival and growth.
More than a personal story, this project becomes a collective reflection—a call for cultural change. It urges us to recognize the quiet strength within ourselves and others, and to reimagine a world where healing and empowerment are not only possible, but supported.
Frammenti di Resilienza is also an act of love—for every woman who has found the strength to resist. This volume stands as a testimony of resilience, but also as a tool. The reflections, psychological insights, and suggested strategies within do not aim to explain trauma—they aim to accompany those who have lived it, and those who truly wish to understand.
