Background

Summary

I grew up in Tuscany surrounded by extraordinary paintings and sculptures, frescoes and architectural masterpieces.
The artistic influence was the inspiration for what today is my passion: Design.
As a child I was influenced by Legos and pencils, as a teenager break dancing and graffiti were my life.
Later I became interested in fashion, photography, graphic design and architecture.
People says that I’m a crazy artist, but this is not true, I’m just creative!
I’m constantly looking for new ideas, I always try to use my creativity and my hands for something purely unique. I love to learn, experiment and research.
I like simple people that have something interesting to say, people that work hard like I do.
I consider myself the Super Hero of my World, where dreams and reality can inspire each other endlessly.

I love working in team, I think we are not longer able to work alone, we are not good at all, we are not good by ourselves.

I'm not crazy I'm creative!

Experience

Art Director / Founder

Era Ora Studio
– Present (1 year)Greensboro/Winston-Salem, North Carolina Area

Era Ora Studio is meant for the young ambitious and the old dreamers.
The young and ambitious are not the boys and girls who make fame their priority in life.
They are the ones that make practice, knowledge and perfection their priority in life.
The old dreamers are the men and woman that never stopped dreaming despite their daily struggles and routines.

Every client is unique in their own way.
Even though the request and needs may be similar, the results will not be the same.
Our goal is to remember that ideas are given to us by the world that surrounds us.
We know that creativity will follow.

Our focus are:

- Art Direction
- Concept Design
- Branding & Style Guide
- Marketing Collateral
- Trend/Marketing research
- Case Studies and Solutions
- Illustration
- Set Styling
- Presentations Design

Recommendations

A preview of what LinkedIn members have to say about Alberto:

  • Alberto has an innate sense for proportion and color combination, attention to detail and a good sense of humor. He well represents his dynamic and evolving generation. It is a true professional who reaches the goal by following his line, full of personality, but also thinking of the viewer.
  • Alberto, e' una persona piacevole e alla mano, si mostra subito interessato al progetto che gli viene illustrato. Studia nei dettagli ogni input che gli vengono inviati trasferendoli al meglio nel progetto per poi svilupparlo con dei risultati indiscutibili. Affidabile, serio e ricco di esperienza, da non sottovalutare per la giovane eta'. Costi ragionevoli con ottimi risultati. Consigliato.
