Sardinian by birth, South African at heart, Michele is an Associate Creative Director at Havas Middle East.

He began his creative journey in Italy, where a love for graphic design set him on a path that crossed continents. After studies in Ireland, he spent seven eye-opening years with Ogilvy Johannesburg, shaping campaigns for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Comedy Central, Audi, Nike, Castle Lager, and the KFC Mini Cricket programme, still running twelve years later—proof that work built on cultural insight can outlast any media schedule.

Today, Michele steers projects in the MENA region for adidas, Dubai Tourism, FOX+, National Geographic, the eSports World Cup, Durex, and LEGO. His adidas work has earned a Grand Prix in Outdoor at Cannes, a Grand Prix in Film Craft at Dubai Lynx, and recently the only Design LIA in the region, with more metal at D&AD and The One Show.

Across his career, he has collected 55 awards and 13 shortlists on the international stage.

Michele believes good stories start with understanding people before platforms. He knows the best ideas are the ones that feel slightly out of reach. When he’s not working, he’s drawing, behind a camera, or building something that clearly didn’t need as many screws as the instructions claimed.
