Hi, I’m Giulia, also known as Giugi. I create visual experiences to tell stories through art, illustrations and installations across North Italy and beyond. I’m highly skilled in illustration techniques, storyboarding and concept art, with a polyhedral attitude and versatile creativity. I teach at the AFOL Fashion High School in Milan, covering drawing basics, artistic anatomy, color theory, fashion illustration, Photoshop, painting techniques and textiles dyeing. I work as a freelance illustrator and designer mainly in editorial fields, lead the 2D Art department remotely for Gacriva Studio, and have illustrated scholastic anthologies and book covers for Rosetta Zordan at Rizzoli Education. I’ve participated in group exhibitions in the Dolomites and collaborated with Nike on The Art of Football Week in Milan as a storyboard artist.
