hi!
I'm Fred, a designer who works in three main fields: education, cultural production and social innovation. thanks for visiting my webspace. I hope you can enjoy it and my projects, and find inspiration for yours :)
About me:
I'm an artist? I don't know. I'm just a human being who loves to do a lot of different projects. I've done many projects, since I was young. Actually, I'm a communication designer, graduated from Politecnico di Milano. I'm also a songwriter, a band frontman, a poet, a painter, a visualist, a club designer, a project manager, a web designer, a DJ, an animator, a writer, a philosopher, a pacifist, an ally, a production manager, a community care worker, the president of a non-profit association, and I wish to do every kind of work during my life. I love philosophy, psychology, astrophysics, and science in general. But first of all I'm simply a human being, and I love to give this definition of myself. You can just call me Fred, and know that I am a kind human being.
My dream is to contribute to changing the world, and this idea has never left me, because Life is so beautiful that I consider myself in debt to Her, so I will try to leave Her better than before. That's because I always speak about changing the world and society, and not just about cars or shoes.
About my projects and my work:
As I said, I grew up doing a lot of stuff, and I'm still learning a lot of things by living my everyday life. I try to be always free, curious, active, a lover; a human. I have been involved in a lot of projects, especially about organising people's lives, trying to understand their needs, and helping them be happier. My first love was RUN BVS, a borderline designers' collective I co-founded in 2011. After that, I co-founded Bilobo, a strategy consultation and branding studio, where I worked till September 2016: we believed in the power of imagination and we have been following different realities since 2013. In 2018 I finally discovered what I want to do during my Life: producing artistical and cultural events + working in the educational and social innovation field. I'm fixing that collaborating with different realities like SOS - La scuola open source, MACAO, School Raising, PACO, the first design collaborative (collab. end in 2019), Venti, Labsus - Laboratorio per la sussidiarietà, and working by myself to help people start their own business and realise their life dreams by using my creativity and my contacts - using imagination to find new ways that haven't been considered before. I love my job. A great project I've co-designed is Think Together, an experimental project about education. I strongly believe that by changing our educational methods we can build a better future for everyone. As Bruno Munari said, “The children of today are the adults of tomorrow”. I totally agree with him. I'm working on Think Together with beautiful people and teammates thanks to Combo, a non-profit cultural association that I have been the president of since February 2015. Combo's goal is to contribute to the progress of our society by spreading the fundamental values of empathy, culture and realistic optimism.
I like to experiment with every kind of art - I write, I sing in a punk-rock band, I make (bad) graphics and paintings (but I always try to improve myself)! I love people, and studying how we communicate between our selves.
I love travelling around a looooot. Travelling - alone or with someone else- is truly one of the best ways to grow as a professional; you can get inspired in creativity, and especially as a human being, learning by the experiences you acquire.
So that's quite all. If you want to collaborate with me, have a drink, chat, or just propose an idea (I love receiving proposals), please email me at Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.. Thankssssss!
