About me

Hi there, I’m Giovanni Garrone…but my friends call me Gio. An Italian full-time daydreamer, design junkie and creative designer based in italy. A BLEND OF DESIGN/ MARKETING AND ARCHITECTURE. Born and raised in Italy: can’t help art and cappuccino running through my veins. I’ve studied Architecture at Polytechnic of Turin, but soon I decided to find my own path in the creative industry, far from the conventional paradigms. My journey goes on in Kristiansand, Norway: almost two years living in the woods and working for an advertising agency named Aptum. In 2018 I moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where I lived for 5 years. There you could find me at Advidi, the company within the Performance Marketing industry I worked for, dealing with design and brand management. Quite simply put, I am a design, branding, and creative contents enthusiast, I love to make my own art and help others to find a flawless match between themselves or their businesses, and their visual identity. People who truly know me keep on saying my mind is on the moon, but they don’t know what they are missing. The view from up here is amazing. If you are wondering what happens when you combine Italian roots to Nordic influence and European cosmopolitan features, check out my works and learn more about it. Find me for collaborations, publications, chitchatting, tips, feedbacks or anything else.
