Hi, I'm Andrea - a freelance designer, illustrator, and PHP developer from Italy. 

I studied Set Design (Scenography) at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan - where I learned that space, color, and light tell stories just as much as words do.  

Since 1999, I've been building websites, small custom CMS systems, and online tools for real people - not tech departments. My mantra? Keep it simple, make it beautiful, and let it actually work.  Over the years I've designed everything from corporate identities to e-commerce sites and quirky mini-apps for small and medium businesses. 

Then I created Anima della Festa - my slightly insane creative playground where I mix vector art, pop culture, and a stubborn love for humor, retro vibes, and over-engineered T-shirts.  

I'm the kind of person who hand-codes a PHP form in the morning and spends the afternoon vectorizing a steampunk robot or a mythological god with sunglasses.  

And yes - I also wrote a book. Cronache dal Futuro (and its English edition Chronicles from the Future) explores tomorrow with satire, dystopia, and a wink of irony.  

I believe good design should work first, smile second, and never pretend to be smarter than it is. 

No agencies. No buzzwords. Just ideas, graphics, a bit of caffeine alchemy - and a future that might surprise you.
