About me

I am a creative multidisciplinary designer with a special interest in illustration, corporate identity branding and interaction design. I am passionate about delivering design that makes a reaction, creates interaction and that tells a story. I am originally from Italy, but lived in London for the past twelve years. I love drinking tea, playing ukulele and I never go anywhere without my sense of humour.

  Cutting EdgeIn a group of four we were challenged to design a print and digital magazine to advertise Central Saint Martins university. We called our magazine Cutting Edge with the notion in mind of something innovative. It is divided into three sections, namely: Granary Square, Interviews and Round About.
• PortraitsA selection of digital illustrations I designed for different clients and self initiated projects.
• The Fine lineRe-branding & Identity for Fuller Smith & Turner gastro-pub in the city of London taking inspiration from how craft beer is produced. I also designed a mural portraying an almost impossible journey enhancing hard work and dedication in the making of great craft beer.
• Draw-versationThe London Underground is such an intriguing place filled with so many uniquely interesting people. And yet how many of them have you plucked up the courage to speak to? Draw-versation is a social campaign to encourage commuters in the trains to start conversations with strangers through a simple ice breaker: draw a portrait of that stranger. The effects of talking to strangers? Joy, seemingly shorter commutes and an experience to remember. In collaboration with Eugene Tan Please watch Draw-versation: http://www.annanano.co.uk/draw-versation/

  1930s style postersI was commissioned by Fuller Smith & Turner to come up with some advertising posters and other point of sales. These are a selection from one of their bar called The Bank because of its actual origin in being a Bank back in 1930. I took inspiration from 1930s graphic posters and railway advertising artwork.
