About

I’m Leonardo Papi, a visual designer with an artistic background and over 6 years of professional experience in brand identity, visual communication, and art direction. I work across premium brands, entertainment, art, real estate, and advertising, guiding projects from concept development to final execution while blending design thinking with an artistic sensibility to build coherent, recognizable visual systems.

I love turning ideas into editorial, promotional, and experiential content—anything from editorial layouts and booklets to large-scale event visuals and digital experiences. My approach emphasizes clarity, aesthetics, and practical results, ensuring visuals are not only beautiful but functional and engaging across platforms and audiences.
