Hi there! My name is Lorenzo Maffei, I’m a 25-years-old communication designer based in Milan, focused on 2D/3D motion and motion design. I have a MSc Degree in Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano, where I also work as a teaching assistant.
I am a hardworking, well organized, determined guy. I’m inevitably curious and always looking for new challenges. Oh… I am also a hopeless cinema addicted!
