Gabriele Ricci

Gabriele Ricci is an Italian award-winning Creative Motion Director and CG & Motion Designer with over 15 years of experience in visual storytelling, motion design, 3D, and the application of artificial intelligence to creative processes. He collaborates with founders, producers, agencies, and visionary companies to craft distinctive and impactful visual experiences.

Ricci combines technical mastery of leading design and animation tools with an artistic sensibility that transforms ideas into compelling multimedia experiences for international brands.

Based just outside Milan and working worldwide, he crafts stories that engage and connect. Working at the intersection of design, strategy, and direction, Gabriele brings a distinctive and emotionally powerful approach to every project.

His design approach is rooted in the academic principles of Italian design, acquired at Politecnico di Milano, and further enriched with a Master’s degree in Multimedia Content Design from 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. At the same time, music, art, theatre, psychology, architecture, fashion, sports, contemporary culture, and history fuel his pursuit of authenticity and meaning.

Guided by a belief in purposeful creativity, Gabriele envisions a world where humans, animals, and nature coexist with technology in conscious, respectful harmony — and where design is not only seen, but deeply felt.
