About
Gabriele Ricci is an Italian award-winning Creative Lead and Motion Director with over 15 years of experience in visual storytelling, motion design, 3D, and the application of artificial intelligence to creative processes. He combines a deep mastery of leading design and animation software with an artistic sensibility that allows him to transform ideas into impactful multimedia content for international brands.
Based just outside vibrant Milan and operating worldwide, he crafts stories that inspire and connect. Working at the intersection of design, strategy, and direction, Gabriele brings a sharp, original, and emotionally resonant approach to every project.
His approach to design is rooted in the Italian academic design principles acquired at Politecnico di Milano and further elevated through a first-level Master’s degree in Multimedia Content Design at Università degli Studi di Firenze.
Since 2019, alongside his practice as a designer, he has also been dedicated to teaching, collaborating with Italian schools and universities to mentor and inspire the next generation of designers.
Nature and animals are a constant source of inspiration—symbols of balance, harmony, and adaptive intelligence—while music, art, theatre, psychology, architecture, fashion, sport, contemporary culture, and history fuel his pursuit of authenticity and meaning.
Guided by a belief in purposeful creativity, Gabriele dreams of a world where humans, animals, and nature coexist with technology in a conscious and respectful synergy, and where design is not only seen but deeply felt.
