I am specialized in sustainable development projects. My goal is to share my knowledge, either if you are a student wanting to learn more about this topic, or a company that want to implement a strategy to be more sustainable, caring about its impact on the environment and caring about its employees and the society.

I specialise in teaching AutoCAD, Rhino, 3Ds Max, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop to students of various levels.

My style of teaching is focused on practice. All classes have their goal - to expand the theory and practice to create something complete at the end. I think practice, whether or not you are a beginner or more advanced, is important for learning. Each class is personalized to the needs and interests of the students.

I can also realise personal 2D, 3D design projects.

With 3dsMAX and corona render or Vray you will use top tools in the current market. I can offer an approach oriented to the world of infoarchitecture and advertising, where you will create photorealistic images in a matter of minutes and using state-of-the-art techniques.
An excellent way both for a first approach to the 3d world, and for a perfecting of already acquired knowledge.

I am a Master in BIM Management with experience in the development of parametric families and projects in Revit.
With me you will do classes and project tutorials, personalized (face-to-face / online) with continuous or specific follow-up as the case may be.
You will learn with me a new work tool, or you will enhance if you already have notions: the different functions of the software, the production of the modeling from scratch to, and for more advanced levels also the information management once the project is finished.
