The full story

From BBC runner to Promax Gold.

Video editor, motion designer and creative director — twenty years of promos and content for broadcast, corporate and social, written, animated and cut by the same pair of hands, in English and Italian.

London made me: film school, first jobs at the BBC, six years as Senior Creative at Cartoon Network EMEA, then nine running my own studio, Teppa Studios London.

Milan keeps me busy: promos for Sky Sport, Cielo TV and Mediaset, Cartoon Network's Io Sono Diverso with Andrea Delogu — and since 2020, everything under Athos Visuals: Reuters, QFort Stories, Mediaset's X-Style. Since 2025 most of my days go to sponsor spots and promos for Warner Bros. Discovery’s channels (Eurosport, TNT Sports, Food Network) and for Boing, where I also direct the animation studio.

Proof it works: Promax Gold in Europe and the UK, a Promax Silver, multiple nominations, the Andrew Heiskell Gold and a jury prize for This is Vietnam. Fewer hand-offs, fewer surprises, better film.
