Hello, thank you for stopping by!

I’m Roberta, atelierista and art therapist.

Everything I offer is rooted in the joy of making with your hands, trusting the process, and honoring each person’s uniqueness. You won’t find quick recipes or templates to copy here, just a clear, rigorous way to explore the grammar of materials.

My approach weaves three worlds that define my work:

Design Thinking

My background in industrial design shaped my focus on clean, essential structures. Applying design thinking to workshops showed me that intentional limits and frameworks become the very foundation for creative freedom.

The Reggio Approach

Working as an atelierista in preschools and at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre in Reggio Emilia shifted my entire perspective. The focus moved from the final product to the process, from single activities to the environment as an active subject and ally.

Psychodynamic Art Therapy

The final piece I collected by becoming an art therapist is the bridge between our inner and outer worlds, where materials echo our internal life, placing the relationships (between persons, between materials or between persons and materials) at the heart of my work.

All of these elements come together in my workshops. They can take root in very different settings, adapting to each context while keeping the same core values. I call this space Everywhere Atelier.

Finding a place free from judgment and performance anxiety was a gentle revolution for me, that brought fresh energy to both my work and life.

Today, I share this journey with anyone looking to free their expressive voice, whether for personal growth or a professional path, and learn once again to think through their hands.

Shall we take the next step together?
