Fight like a 3310

I was born and grew up in a tiny town on the shores of Lake Garda, Italy. After my Product Design bachelor in Milan, I moved to Berlin. Here, I undertook a Strategic Design master course. While doing my master course I started illustrating more consciously as a way to externalise thoughts and feelings. I started sharing my work on instagram just as an attempt to document my progress and I started getting responses from people saying they felt connected to what I was doing and encouraged me to keep it coming.

Since then, I've added pastel shades – and razor-sharp taglines – to commissions from brands like AEG, Crocs and Tinder.

On the side, I run my own online shop selling my designs, I work on social media building & nurturing my own community and I lastly manage a Patreon page creating content and providing value to my closest supporters.

Pink is my favorite color, I have been having bangs for 22 years and take everything away from me but stracciatella ice cream.

When I sketched this illustration in early 2021,a very delicate time of isolation for everyone, I wanted to share a message of encouragement glazed (as many of my illustrations) with nostalgia.

I thought about the toughest thing I have ever seen and the image of a Nokia 3310 immediately popped in my mind. Funny enough, I never had one myself. My first cellular was a Motorola flip phone with black and green screen that my mom had passed me. Altough, one day at after-school, I clearly remember an older boy in my school playing it cool on the small volley find we had and throwing his Nokia 3310 in the air, 5 or 7 meters up. A baby blue Nokia 3310, I can still clearly see it. The phone flipped, did at least 4 360° rounds in the air and ungraciosuly ended up smashing flat against the floor. I was just sitting on a bench to the side with my girlfriends and I remmeber everyone around freeezing as he picked up his phone. It was as good as new. I had never seen anything more indestructible.
