Graphic and interior designer. In 2008 she founded XxY Studio. Over fifteen years her work has spanned visual identities for companies, organisations, product lines, and editorial projects, with a consistent focus on how visual languages develop and change over time.

Program

The course consists of three years. The first year offers solid theoretical and practical training in the basics of design and communication. In the second year, students participate in workshops with agencies and companies, delving into strategic design.
The third year focuses on personal style identity and the creation of original communication and marketing strategies, culminating in the thesis project and portfolio preparation. The programme includes studies in Brand Design, Photography, Marketing and Prompt Design.

Who is it for

The course is designed for young creatives and enthusiasts of design, communication, and visual culture who want to turn their talent into a profession, combining design skills with a strong strategic vision. It is ideal for those with a keen aesthetic sensibility, curiosity about contemporary trends, and an interest in visual and digital languages, as well as for those who aim to understand market dynamics and the management aspects of creative projects. The program is open to students from artistic or general high school backgrounds, as well as to those from other fields who wish to pursue a path in design with a focus on marketing, brand management, and strategic communication. No prior technical skills are required—what matters most is motivation, initiative, and a willingness to grow in a dynamic and stimulating environment.
