Hi, I’m Arianna Gilioli, a creative and driven third-year Graphic Design student at De Montfort University, originally from Genoa, Italy. My passion for visuals and storytelling and bold, innovative design first sparked at the Italian artistic high school, Klee-Barabino, shaping my eye for composition, color, and expressive typography. During a placement year with the UX/UI Design team at Top Cash Back, I discovered the power of solving problems through design and deepened my love for communicating ideas through striking visuals, typography, and motion that bring designs to life. Since then I’ve collaborated across disciplines on UI/UX, branding, packaging, and motion graphics for web and social media, including work for Spotify, YouTube, Zoopla, and Cunard ships. I enjoy learning new tools, prototyping quickly, and delivering clear, compelling visuals.
