Born and raised on the outskirts of Florence, in Italy, Samantha’s artistic path has rooted deep since she was really young.

Her secondary education focused the study of fashion and costume and culminated with her graduation from the world-renowned Polimoda Institute, where she completed a Fashion Design degree in 2014.

She moved to London to start her career at the end of 2014 and was then employed by Vivienne Westwood where she has been working as a full time Creative & Technical Illustrator since then.

Her Illustrations for Vivienne Westwood have been featured many times in the most glamorous magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Tatler and many others.

She has been working since 2019 as a freelance illustrator for celebrities and special projects for Thom Browne New York.

Samantha is also the artist who gave life to “Mindflavour”, the essence of her imagination. She has embarked since then on an artistic journey through movies and life drawing artworks, which are two of her greatest passions.
