about me

nice to meet you

i'm a jack
of all trades

hi! my name is paolo.

i'm drawn to anything that asks for exploration, curiosity and a bit of searching, inside and out. i love stories in every form — literature, music, cinema, video games — art of any kind, the world, food and technology. and i love it when they contaminate each other: when everything mixes into something new, something that surprises us.

the two halves of my brain are always in a battle, and they're the first to be contaminated: i instinctively bring order into mess, i take an analytical approach even to emotional matters, and think of creativity in form of diagrams. after all, i did attend a bit of engineering, before realising it wasn't my way.
