ABOUT ME

+ + +

OVERVIEW

In 2013, I graduated in Graphic Design and Advertising at the European University of Design in Italy. Before finding a job as a designer, I spent four years serving tables, from Paris to Ghent, to afford an internship. This shaped my determination and patience, and by working closely with people, I learnt to understand both clients’ and businesses’ needs.

In 2017, I finally began working as a junior graphic designer with PimpMyBrand, a small startup in Brussels, but things changed within a couple of months… The managing director of Sport Creative (in collaboration with Sport Signage) entrusted me with leading our small creative team and collaborating with the F1 teams to coordinate the creation and/or installation of many designs for F1 events to be used in the Fanzone, Cooldown Room, F1 shops, Wayfinding and so on. Every Grand Prix was a new story: adapting the designs, creating new ones, travelling on-site to supervise printing and installation… This experience shaped my ability to work under pressure, pay attention to details, meet deadlines, coordinate production and always respond to client needs.

At the end of 2019, I decided to quit the event industry to shape my own career by focusing on branding and packaging design. Since then, I have worked with clients from all over the world, small and medium-sized businesses from different sectors, developing brands from A to Z or revamping existing identities.
Even though I changed industry, the essence of my work remains the same: every brand is a new story, and my job is to shape it.

    HAPPY CLIENTS

    Francesca ha realizzato le animazioni grafiche per il pubblico trasmesse sui maxischermi dell’Autodromo di Monza durante il weekend del Formula 1 Gran Premio d’Italia. Ci siamo conosciuti qualche giorno prima della gara, con pochissimo tempo a disposizione per terminare il lavoro e alcune complicazioni logistiche da risolvere. Francesca si è subito adoperata per produrre quanto richiesto, impegnandosi anche oltre le sue dirette competenze per soddisfare appieno le nostre esigenze. L’incarico è stato portato a termine puntualmente.

    Francesca possède 3 qualités importantes qui selon moi lui permettent d’exceller dans son travail de graphiste : La créativité, la résistance au stress et le talent. Ayant travaillé avec elle sur énormément de dossier dans l’urgence, Francesca à toujours pu produire les bons contenus, avec des designs simple et élégants. Je referais appel à elle sans aucune hésitation si j’ai besoin d’un travail graphique de qualité.
