About.me

Ciao! I’m Anna, a graphic designer, illustrator and cat enthusiast from Italy. I mainly work with editorial projects and illustrations, but I also enjoy everything that involves traditional techniques or getting your hands dirty.

Partly web designer, partly zine-maker, I try to keep a balance between digital and traditional practices. I’m a fresh graduate from the master in Communication design at ISIA Faenza, always ready to experience new ways of learning and growing.
