Hi, I’m Mattia

2001 – 2010

I was born in 2001, in the province of Padua. As a child, I spent hours observing, dismantling, and imagining. Simply using things wasn't enough for me; I wanted to understand how they worked. LEGO was my language, but I didn't simply build objects. In my mind, each piece was part of a larger city, a system that took shape before it even existed. Over time, that hasn't changed much.

2010 – 2015

That same attitude has stayed with me as I've grown up. In soccer, I always looked for the attack—the part where you create, take risks, and make decisions. In simulation games, I found another space for experimentation—environments where I could learn quickly, test, make mistakes, and understand. Without realizing it, I was practicing a skill that I now consider crucial: entering a new system and understanding it deeply, quickly.

Then came the first camera. Before that, a smartphone and the first almost instinctive images. Photography was my first concrete way to transform a gaze into something visible. I brought sensitivity, composition, and attention to detail to it. It was there that I began to shape an aesthetic.

2015 – 2021

The choice to study photography, graphic design, and production was a natural one. So was my first job in a communications studio, where I was able to work on real-world projects. But at a certain point, it became clear that something was missing. Creating wasn't enough for me: I wanted to understand the broader context, the rules, and the dynamics behind digital systems. So I changed direction, at least partially.

2021 – Present

That's why I took a different path, enrolling in Law and Technology at the University of Padua. A seemingly distant step, but actually coherent: a way to gain a deeper understanding of what I had previously only observed superficially. Today, I continue this journey with a master's degree in Marketing and Digital Transformation, where strategy, technology, and communication finally meet.

Meanwhile, my passions have remained. Formula 1, cars, flight, astronomy: different worlds, but all driven by the same logic. Complex systems designed to function precisely, where every detail matters.

Today I work freelance, bringing all of this with me. In addition to bringing skills ranging from marketing to design, I bring a way of thinking that allows me to delve into things, understand them, and then build something that stands up. Ultimately, it's always been this way: starting with an idea and trying to give it shape.
