Coin and medal design.
Stories in relief.

Drawing, composition and relief translate a theme into a small surface full of meaning. Trained at Rome’s Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia, I design coins and medals for competitions and commissions, in dialogue with the identity of the people and institutions behind them.

A project for your institution.

For institutions, numismatic organisations, trade fair organisers and commissioners: we can begin with the theme, purpose and context. You can also contact me to arrange a professional meeting at a fair.

The meaning of a symbol.

A coin calls for synthesis. Figures, lettering and space must coexist in relief. The work moves through drawing, modelling and a conversation with the subject.

Before we begin

How do I propose a commission?

Email me with the theme, intended use, context and deadlines. We can discuss drawing and relief modelling, feasibility and a quotation.

Can we meet at a trade fair?

I welcome proposals for professional meetings and collaborations with institutions, numismatic organisations and fair organisers. Include the event and dates in your enquiry.

The next form
begins with a meeting.
