Communication agencies, web agencies, design studios and professional firms: if the team lacks a skill or lacks the hours, I join the project for the piece that is needed. With your method, your tools and, if you prefer, your name.
When an external collaborator makes sense
There is a peak in workload
Three deliveries in the same month and nobody to move. A collaborator who already knows how to work independently fits in without weeks of onboarding.
A specific skill is missing
The client asks for a 3D video, an e-commerce with particular features, an AI assistant. It makes no sense to hire for one project: it makes sense to have someone to call.
A project has run aground
A site that will not go live, a bug nobody can find, a migration gone wrong. Sometimes it takes an outside eye and a few hours of targeted work.
You want to offer one more service
AI, 3D, bespoke development: you can offer them to your clients right away, leaning on someone who does them for a living, and decide later whether to bring them in-house.

I know how a studio works, because I have two
I worked in an agency for four years and since 2017 I have been co-founder of a communication studio and a video game studio. I know about deadlines moved by the client, files that arrive at the last minute, quotes to stick to. That is why I try to be the kind of collaborator I would like to find: timings stated and kept, questions asked straight away and not on delivery day, tidy files.
Over the years I have worked with agencies, software houses and consulting firms: some names are below. Work done on behalf of others remains theirs: I only show it when there is an explicit agreement.
How I work
01
Brief
You tell me what is needed, by when and with which constraints. I reply with timing and costs, or by saying I am not the right person.
02
Tools
I adapt to yours: project management, repositories, shared folders, file naming conventions.
03
Work
Regular, short updates. If a problem comes up you know immediately, with a proposal to solve it.
04
Delivery
Source files, essential documentation and availability for fixes after release.
Work born from collaborations
Projects carried out together with agencies and studios, or on their behalf, with rights credited to each.
Who I have worked with
Frequently asked questions
Do you work white label?
Yes. I can work in the agency’s name, without appearing before the end client and without publishing the work in my portfolio. Just say so at the start.
Do you sign non-disclosure agreements?
Yes, no problem. For projects that require it I also work on machines and accounts provided by you.
Do you work on site or remotely?
Normally remotely, with in-person meetings when they are useful. For those in Turin or Milan, coming to your studio for a project kick-off is easy.
Can you speak directly with our client?
If it helps you, yes: sometimes a direct technical conversation saves many steps. Otherwise I stay behind the scenes and speak only with you.
Do you use artificial intelligence in the work you deliver to us?
Yes, as an everyday working tool, especially in development and quality checks. If a client has precise rules on the use of AI or on data confidentiality, we agree beforehand what is allowed; in those cases I can work with local models or without.
