Ciao! My name is Giovanni!
I specialise in graphic design, branding and identity. Creating a brand is not just about making a logo, brands are not that, brands are people and all the sensations that they bring with them. A brand is the sound of your favourite band, the smell of a pie cooked by your grandma and the taste of cold ice cream on a hot summer day. Brands are stories, and I am here to help you tell these stories.
My approach is based on unbiased and critical research used for problem-solving. My main goal is to bring meaningful and helpful solutions for our society, while still having fun with my passion. I do not like putting labels on what design is, for me my practice is malleable and able to change its shape based on the client and the brief presented.
Some brands I worked for : Armani Exchange, Fabric London, Monkey Shoulder, Magnum Tonic Wine, Warm Street, No Ego.
