Available to hire
Hi, I’m Carolina Spadiliero, a fashion & textile designer, graphic designer, and pixel artist based in Argentina, with 15+ years of experience across fashion, textiles, apparel graphics, and product development. I specialize in pixel art for knitwear, jacquards, socks, scarves, licensed products, and merch, while also working across prints, illustration, and production-ready graphics.
I’ve worked with global brands including Google, Mattel, SpaceX, Hasbro, Minecraft, Warner, Paramount, and others, taking projects from concept to production. I combine a strong visual eye with hands-on production knowledge, so I’m always thinking about both how something should look and how it will actually be made.
One of my favorite parts of the job is understanding what a client is really trying to achieve, even when they don’t quite know how to articulate it yet. I’m good at turning those ideas into clear creative directions and visuals that feel right for the brand. I can execute, but I also love helping shape the idea itself.
