ABOUT ME
I am Giorgia Bandiera a freelance visual designer, born in Italy and raised across Europe. With over five years of experience in visual identity, editorial, and digital design, I collaborate primarily with cultural institutions and small-to-medium enterprises. I prioritize structure, empathy, and concept-driven projects grounded in extensive research. I believe that visual design has the power to change and influence opinions, behaviors and ideas. As a designer, I believe in using my crafts and skills in promoting brand that are worth promoting. My approach balance critical thinking, with sustainable thinking, aiming to reveal the authentic value behind each brand.

With a strong interest in image-based research, screen printing, and the evolving role of AI in design, I hold a BA in Graphic Design from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and an MA in Visual Communication and Iconic Research from the Basel School of Design. My Master's thesis, A Quest Into Colors, has been published, presented at conferences, and exhibited in Italy, Switzerland, and China.

I am also the co-founder of raw made collective, a female team of multidisciplinary designers based in Basel.
