Hello!
My name is Paola, i'm a visual designer from Bari, Italy. Since 2012, I have partnered with brands and creative agencies on a wide range of projects, from corporate identities to cultural initiatives.
While my core expertise is rooted in brand and editorial design, I embrace a multidisciplinary mindset that has expanded to include UX&UI design, motion graphics, and graphic design for social media.
At the heart of my process is a commitment to dialogue and collaboration; I believe that human connection is essential to turning client's vision into powerful visual results. By blending influences from art, history and science, I craft bold, vibrant designs that capure attention and resonate deeply.
