Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

My name is Mattia, and I’m a 19-year-old student who has always been passionate about creativity.

Since a young age, I’ve been engrossed in videography and photography, continuously refining my skills through dedicated practice.

About a year ago, something significant changed in my life — I decided to turn my passion into a business.

It all started when a friend encouraged me to share my creations with a broader audience.

Taking the leap, I began posting my first wallpaper packs and was pleasantly surprised to see people purchasing them.

This positive response fuelled my desire to immerse myself in the world of content creation.

I embraced the journey of learning new techniques, studying successful creators, and pushing myself to improve constantly.

Throughout this process, I established a supportive community around my work and started collaborating with tech companies through barter arrangements.

This opportunity allowed me to work with brands I’ve always admired, which made me even more enthusiastic about my chosen path.

At present, I enjoy the freedom of working as a freelancer, relishing the ability to set my own course.

However, I’m open to the possibility of exploring a role in a company project in the future, as it could be a valuable experience for my growth.

I am wholeheartedly invested in my project, and to demonstrate this commitment, I recently launched my YouTube channel.

This platform has always fascinated me, and it played a significant role in enhancing my skills.

Despite the challenges and time-consuming nature of creating YouTube videos, I love the new level of excitement and fulfilment it brings.

The first key feature of my setup is the black Edifier speakers mounted on Kanto stands.

This is a recent addition, and I think it gives a unique look to the workspace.

Another crucial aspect for me is decluttering.

Having a clean workspace with the essential tools that I need to work with is really important and influential in my workflow.

This is the reason why I have decided to remove desk shelves or any accessory that does not have a specific function.
