Paola

I was born in 2001 near Bergamo, and for the first 10 years of my life I was the quiet little girl who was always running around the town with her little pink purse. Middle school arrives, I start getting into music and boom: here I am spending my days sitting at my desk listening to music and drawing, drawing and drawing.

2015: I start high school and finally…no, I didn’t attend art school. Instead, I spent five years studying languages. It was great to know how to speak English, German, and Spanish, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what if I’d studied art.

2020: I’m facing high school graduation and I have to choose what to do after high school, and just to make it easier, there comes a pandemic as well. Here I am again locked in my room for days and days sitting at my desk listening to music and drawing, dejavu?

2023: Here I am, waiting to finish my third year of graphic design in Santa Giulia Academy of Fine Arts and making plans for my future.

2024: Finally crushed it, officially graduated in graphic design : )

Updates: at the moment I’m working as a graphic designer, but whenever I’ve got free time, I dive into personal projects with CDS Fam as a photographer and graphic designer, messin’ around with new media (check them out on IG, they’re doin’ some lit stuff, trust me) .
