Info
- SummaryI’m a 35 years old Italian freelance art director and designer. I spent seven years in London where I worked at design agencies for large international clients and smaller local firms, and one year in Barcelona working for a digital start-up. Since the end of 2009 I have moved back to my hometown Treviso in Italy where I work as freelancer.
I have a traditional design background with experience in branding, advertising and experiential design, but during the last 5 years I have been concentrating on design for the web, on-line strategy and web marketing.
I have a passion for new technologies and I’m a strong believer of the power of on-line communication.Specialties: Digital art direction, web strategy, web marketing, web design, UI design, mobile design, advertising art direction, branding, design for print, experiential design.Experience- Aug 2010 - PresentArt Director & Web Strategist / FKDesign

I think this blog-style design is just superb. Minimalistic to the bone.
- Feb 17, 11One of my favorite agencies ever.It's good to see that they haven't changed their site structure, meaning that the blog style still works for them (and if it works for them...).http://www.pokelondon.com

Beautiful food photography and lovely blog by Katie Quinn Davies.
- Sep 29, 10I'm an art director specialised in web design and digital strategy and I'm sick of looking at websites galleries! My background is design for print and I first approached creativity through photography, so why limit myself to websites when I could find much more useful inspiration from everywhere?Everyday we are overloaded with updates on those "inspirational" website galleries that look all the same and showcase a flat panorama that makes me sad.Designing is a challenge and for this reason it's exciting and never the same. This is why I love my job and why I decided to make design my profession. Webdesign can sometimes be seen as the "poor" brother of the creative professions, probably because of the technical restrictions that this medium has to observe.We have to make the effort to find inspiration from other forms of design. Print, packaging, photography, architecture and so on... No excuses.The only web gallery I look at is Drawar.com, where the selection of websites is of the highest quality and the articles are really useful and interesting. For the rest, I try to look at what happens in other creative disciplines.Here are some of my favourite sites:And here is a gallery of a few lovely packages recently published by Graphic Exchange.
- Sep 22, 10The new McKinney site is probably one of the best agency site around. Not just for the pixel perfect design but also for their approach to make it fully cross-platform. If you view the site on an iPhone or iPad you will get the same experience as the browser version. Swiping included. Try it now!Does your website work on a mobile device? You better check now!

At 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Burberry will stage its Spring/Summer 2011 show for its high-end womenswear line at London Fashion Week. But the physical catwalk is just one part of this year’s show.
In addition to livestreaming the event on its website and making a select number of pieces available for purchase immediately afterward (which the company has been doing since its Fall 2010 show in February 2010), Burberry has also invited customers into 25 of its flagship stores (in 16 countries, no less) to watch the event live via 3×3-meter HD screens.
Afterward, employees will distribute iPads to participants so that they can browse and purchase many of the items they’ve just seen via a custom-built app. Orders will be delivered in roughly seven weeks — i.e., several months before the rest of the collection will be available online and in retail stores.
The initiative cleverly bridges the gap between the online and retail shopping experiences. Although customers will not be able to examine and try on the garments and accessories in the collection, they will have access to employee advice and assistance, among other benefits — such as “the clothes, the music, the energy and the atmosphere,” Burberry Chief Creative Office Christopher Bailey said in a statement.
Undoubtedly, many customers will be more responsive to an invitation for an in-store event, rather than a prompt to log on to Burberry.com to watch the show online, as well.
What do you think of the concept? How else can fashion brands use digital technology to make Fashion Week more of a consumer-facing event, and/or bridge the gap between online and retail shopping experiences?

Interactive agency Akqa has developed a campaign for Fiat that borders between digital and real life and really excites me!
It's a USB key that you plug into your car and records your driving style. Then you plug the USB key into your PC and download the data. An app will analyze the data and will display on nice graphs your driving style and give you tips on how you could improve it to save fuel and CO2 emissions.
Call it Nike+ for cars if you wish. Akqa once again leading the way...

Merging the off-line and on-line experiences into something new, entertaining and innovative. This is what digital is all about to me!

This is a hardcore version of Foursquare and Nike+ combined, just on snow! Ok, well it's not Foursquare or Nike+, but take that, times it's functionality by about 50 and then you've got EpicMix, in what I'm going to call the ultimate snow tracker
This is a great integration of new technology, behaviour trends, social media and useful tools.

Nicely shot and put together video
From the website:You may find the brave voices captured here haunting, shocking and humorous. In some of their faces you’ll see joy, anguish and grace as they trust you with their confession.
It’s a simple question and the answers can lead us anywhere. So go ahead, ask yourself…
