Hi there! My name is Lorenzo Maffei, I’m a 26-years-old motion designer based in Milan, focused on art direction, 2D/3D animation and motion design.

I have a MSc Degree in Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano, where I also work as a teaching assistant.

I’m a hardworking, well organized, determined guy.
I’m inevitably curious and I can’t stop learning new things.
