CREATING MATERIAL-DRIVEN DESIGN SOLUTIONS.

👋

Hello there. I'm Chiara, an interdisciplinary designer, maker, and design researcher currently advising branding and marketing strategies in my role as Creative Projects Lead at Rapidia.

Design is my passion. I thrive on the opportunity to blend creativity and problem-solving, crafting designs that not only look beautiful but also serve a purpose. Throughout my journey, I have honed my skills in Industrial Design, Material Exploration, and Visual Communication.

My professional journey has been driven by my pursuit of growth and a desire to make a difference. I believe that design has the power to shape experiences, influence behaviors, and connect people. Guided by strong values such as integrity, collaboration, and attention to detail, I believe in building meaningful relationships, understanding the vision, and translating it into compelling design solutions.

When I'm not immersed in design, you'll likely find me discovering the beautiful nature of British Columbia, exploring ferments in homemade bread, and listening to music.

2023 Creative Projects Lead, Rapidia

2022 Masters of Design @Emily Carr University

2020 Bachelors of Art @HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd
