I am Lavinia Prota, a visual communication specialist, graphic designer and gallery assistant with several years of international experience in design and communication. Recently I co-managed an art project, focusing on its communication and visual identity, and I personally created its storytelling presentation—from logo stings to short videos, posters and educational materials. I also managed social media and websites, wrote related texts, and conducted artist interviews using only a smartphone. My practice starts from personal creations like collages, which I translate into visual solutions for commissioned projects. I have co-designed and co-curated a collective exhibition near Bern, directed the communication campaign and produced content across social media and websites. I work across galleries in Zurich, Bern, the South of France and Naples, building sites with tools like Artlogic and WordPress, and I continually expand my skills through AI tools and software. I am deeply motivated to support gender equality and would welcome the chance to contribute to a charity doing vital work.
