Ciao! I’m Simone,

Originally from Naples, Italy, I now split my time between Gdańsk, Poland and Ferrara, Italy. Life has taken me on a winding path, from studying civil engineering to becoming a visual artist, illustrator, musician, and now a UX/UI designer.

Creativity runs through everything I do. I love drawing, painting, playing bass and guitar, cooking Italian food, and getting lost in deep, meaningful conversations. I’m passionate about the little details, the way people speak about their dreams, the quiet of early mornings, the warmth of shared meals.

Traveling is not just about places for me, it’s about stories, connections, and the beautiful unpredictability of meeting someone new and feeling a little more human because of it.

I believe in kindness, in listening, and in always having something to give,

whether it’s a song, a drawing, a plate of pasta, or just my time and presence.

Let’s share something real.
