INTERNSHIPS

For a summer internship, I led announcements and sales, organised lectures in partnership with a library and IT club for the contemporary art center
Benua 1890 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

During a spring internship, I collaborated with master's students from La Sapienza to create a contemporary art guide for IUNO, research and exhibition centre in Rome. Together, we developed the content and devised strategies, including potential collaborations with university club fairs.

PROJECTS

Nevesomo Desserts was a business centered around healthy treats.
At 16, I cooked desserts, crafted the brand identity, partnered with a Pilates studio, and engaged influencers for advertising.
Special occasion packaging was created to add a touch of charm to the products.

I designed several illustrated promotional and informational posters for an English-speaking club.
I took a course on graphic design and crafted my first brand identity for my friend's jewellery brand. Now I am doing one for the hotel in Rome.

The exhibition was curated together with students in John Cabot University.
It brought together perspectives of 19 artists born in Italy or abroad and their experience of working in Rome.
The project explored both personal affections and global issues: history, community, multiculturalism, discrimination, gentrification, ecology.

I coordinated a multimedia exhibition for the 3rd Samara Apartment Triennale with the support of the Victoria Gallery and the Association of Regional Youth. It presented female students of the "Communication design" at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow in their searching for the state of present.
