    uniE608 Sabrina Poli Visual maker_Projects
    This is a collection of my main projects. I was responsible for the creative direction, logo design and restyling. One such project involved repositioning Diego Dalla Palma cosmetics. This challenge consisted of relaunching and updating the brand for the 2000s, following its success in the 1980s. I created the entire visual image in collaboration with photographer P. Solomon in New York. I handle the entire supply chain for project implementation, from brand and image creation to logistics processes.
