Freelance SEO Consultant (2022–Present)

Since 2022, I’ve worked as a freelance SEO consultant, using my real estate marketing background to build high-converting lead generation websites for service-based businesses.

My focus is on SEO-friendly structure, fast-loading design, and localized landing pages that rank in Google and attract qualified leads. I combine keyword research, on-page SEO, and conversion-focused content to create websites that support long-term visibility and measurable business growth.

I also completed a degree in Business Administration, which strengthened my approach to strategic planning, digital marketing, and performance tracking. This work blends hands-on consulting with execution, backed by a decade of marketing experience.

Visual & Multimedia Designer & Real Estate Photographer, Italy (2008–2013)

After graduating from Quasar Institute for Advanced Design in Rome, I began working as a real estate photographer, applying my background in visual and multimedia design to property marketing.

I produced listing visuals including HDR photography, video, and digital media assets that helped agents present properties more effectively. This hands-on experience with design, digital content creation, and local marketing laid the foundation for my transition into SEO-focused work and results-driven strategy.

About me

I’ve spent the last decade at the intersection of visual storytelling and digital strategy. My journey started in Italy, where I combined my background in visual and multimedia design with a growing interest in real estate marketing. From capturing listing photography for local agencies to managing high-volume media projects for national companies like VRX Media Group, Space 360, and Zillow Media Experts, I learned how powerful content can be when it’s built with both creativity and purpose.

Today, I work as a SEO consultant, helping small businesses improve their visibility online. I specialize in local SEO, on-page optimization, and building lead generation websites that not only rank — they convert. My approach is hands-on, strategic, and rooted in everything I’ve learned from working with real estate brands, creative teams, and entrepreneurs who care about growth.

Beyond the data and strategy, I’m passionate about good design, clear communication, and solving real problems with meaningful results. Whether I'm working with a local service provider or building out my own projects, I bring the same focus: create something useful, beautiful, and built to last.
