biography
Motorsport and racing enthusiast from early years, my passion became also designing liveries for cars and bikes. It all started in early years of my life, watching F1 and MotoGP races on the TV. Then watching races and rallies live, just few meters from the road. After years of "only" watching, I got my chance to try what's like racing with minimotos. Beautiful racedays least 5 years and it was an unforgettable experience. After all that I started with simracing and more intense designing.
designing
I always wanted to have my own design and name on cars or motorbikes. My first experiences of designing go back in time when I was 11 years old, when I had been making simple designs with paint on existing photos of cars. Then after years, some designs became part of games like Car Town, the Facebook game. These are my first serious experiences of skin making for games. For some years I had been making skins for that game with friends under a single team name, Team Rocket Machine. It gave me a lot of experience in using templates and designing. At that times I was using the program Photo Filtre. Parallel to that, every season I designed my own design for my minimoto, so I had been working on two different types of designing. After minimoto race days were over and also playing Car Town wasn't not so interesting anymore, I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop, at first to edit photos from Need for Speed World. Then the turning point: rFactor. After buying this game, a new world opened it's doors to me. At first only offline racing and training took me to make skins for passion. Then, after some months, I discovered the beautiful world of online simracing and from that point everything started to grow. I reached a lot of experience and became a fast driver in many leagues. At first partecipating to championships, was my interest to make skins for me and for my team and this was like a promotion for me, because people liked my designs and asked me to make also them designs. For that I decided to make my own designing company, to have clients and to become more known in the sector of designing and skin making. Now I'm making skins for many teams, especialy Italian teams which race in Italian and international championships.
achievements
The biggest achievement of my designing career was for sure the win on the contest on which I made the design for the Slovenian rally champion Aleks Humar and co-driver Florjan Rus' team HRR Racing. The team used myself designed skin for the entire 2015 rally season and that gave me a lot of satisfaction and confirmed my good designing skills.
