A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Independent by nature. Connected by design.

I’m Silvia. Italian-born, Oxford-based, and curious about the stories that bring people and ideas together.

My career began between journalism and media relations, giving me a perspective on communication from both sides of the page.

For more than 15 years I’ve worked with communication agencies, institutions and international design brands.

Today, I bring that experience to independent consultancy: considered strategy, close collaboration and a hands-on approach from first idea to lasting coverage.

Clear‍ ‍thinking.
Considered action.

Her strong interpersonal skills make her particularly well-suited to the field of public relations, where the ability to build genuine and constructive relationships is essential.
