About me

Hi, I'm Francesco — a Webflow developer and educator based in Tokyo. I build for the web, and I teach everything I learn along the way. My whole thing is simple: great knowledge should be free, and easy to find.

How I got here

I didn't start here. My background is in physics, and my first job was building software interfaces in C#. Then I stumbled onto Webflow through YouTube — Ran Segall and Flux Academy — and it just clicked.

I wanted out of the 9-to-5, so when a friend asked me to build his portfolio site, I said yes and fell down the web design rabbit hole. The start was hard — I had almost no network.

So, as a Flux Academy student, I spent months helping other students, hours every day, completely for free. That's how people started noticing me, how I landed my first real projects, and how I began sharing cloneables and tutorials. Giving back to that community eventually led Flux to invite me onto the team, where I mentor their Webflow course.

Along the way I joined the first Webflow Speed Build Challenge in 2021, which grew into an ongoing collaboration with Webflow's own sales team, and I became a Webflow Certified Partner. Then I decided I wanted to live abroad — which is how I ended up in Tokyo, co-founding Supasaito with Igor and Sergei.

What I do now

These days I split my time between building and teaching. You can find my free Webflow and GSAP tutorials on YouTube. Many include a cloneable project you can take apart and make your own. I've published 90+ free cloneables, a complete free GSAP course, and I've written for Codrops. For clients, I design and build animation-rich sites in Webflow — like Westy, made with my friend and designer Lidia.

And I'm building something I really care about: reliable knowledge bases on Webflow, GSAP, accessibility, and more — because right now good knowledge is scattered across a dozen platforms, and finding the right answer shouldn't feel like a treasure hunt.

The mission

I genuinely believe knowledge should be accessible and free for everyone. That's the thread through all of it — the tutorials, the cloneables, this site. My goal is for this to become a place you can always come back to and actually find what you need.

Want to build something together, or just say hi? I'd love to hear from you.

Writing beyond the web

On Medium, I also write about how we judge, learn, and live together. These articles explore questions that reach beyond my work on the web.
