About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

Andrea is an On Purpose Associate supporting the Challenge Works Communications team.

Before joining Challenge Works and On Purpose, Andrea spent nearly 15 years working in photography studios of all sizes, ranging from capturing Botticelli paintings in his native Florence to leading the post-production team of a busy fashion retailer in the heart of London.

He later spent six months as an On Purpose associate at Save the Children UK, working in their Innovation Hive and specialising in UX and user-centred design.

When he’s not working, you’ll find him chasing an overenthusiastic toddler around North London parks, planning ambitious hiking trips, or trying to keep his singing voice from getting too rusty.
