Freediving

Myself, athlete

Alongside my work in design and visual communication, I am a competitive freediving athlete and content creator, developing my own personal brand around the sport. My work combines athletic performance, storytelling, and digital content production to share my journey, connect with the freediving community, and build a distinctive visual identity around my passion.

As a high-performance athlete and third-ranked competitor nationally across multiple disciplines, I bring the same dedication, discipline, and creative mindset to both sport and design. Through photography, video production, and social media content, I document my training, competitions, and progress, with the goal of breaking Italian national records in freediving in the near future.
