A few weeks ago, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Hangzhou, China, where I was invited by Zhejiang University to speak at the International Talent Academic & Industry Exchange Conference on Digital Fashion.
Representing Italy alongside @istitutopantheon, I had the pleasure of sharing my experience and perspective on Illustration, Art Direction, and Artificial Intelligence with students and international delegations.
It was an inspiring experience, both professionally and personally. Seeing firsthand how much China has transformed over the past three decades, becoming a global hub for technology, innovation, and sustainable development, was truly eye-opening. I came back with unforgettable memories, fresh inspiration, and a new perspective on the future of creativity.
One of the most meaningful moments was receiving an Academic Mentor Award from the university and local government — an unexpected honor that made this experience even more special.
Truly grateful for this opportunity, the amazing people I met, and everything I learned along the way.
Thank you, Hangzhou!
