Ciao! I’m Paola, a visual storyteller with a curious mind. Over the past 12 years, I’ve lived in Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Scotland, driven by a love for culture, craft and storytelling. I’ve done all sorts of jobs, from the unusual (like counting star anise tips) to more creative ones, and each experience has enriched my approach to design. I’m especially passionate about typography and editorial, from type design to book layouts. My recent ISTD project explored identity through Pirandello’s Uno, nessuno e centomila, combining clay engraving, traditional publishing, and a web-based “cloud” built with ChatGPT to reflect how we see ourselves and how others see us. I love blending traditional and digital processes, always working with heart and purpose. In the future, I hope to join a studio that values authenticity, experimentation and emotionally driven design.
