About
My name is Madina Kussainova. I am originally from Kazakhstan, and for the past six years I have been living and studying in Italy.
On April 30, 2025, I graduated from the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio with a degree in Economics and Business. Alongside my studies, I gained over three years of professional experience working in a lounge bar as an Art Director, where I was responsible for creative direction, visual identity, and artistic concept development.
I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Fashion Theory and Practices, studying simultaneously at Sapienza University of Rome and Unitelma Sapienza. My academic and professional path reflects my long-standing passion for art, fashion, and creativity, which has influenced my career choices since childhood.
I possess a wide range of skills in design and management. I am proficient in tools such as Figma, Tilda, Canva, Photoshop, and various video editing software. I have hands-on experience in graphic and web design, supported by my work with CorelDraw and freelance platforms. Additionally, I actively use modern technologies, including AI tools such as Leonardo.ai and ChatGPT, which allow me to work efficiently in SMM, digital content creation, and creative strategy.
My background also includes:
College studies in Fashion Design (scholarship holder, participant in design competitions)
Web design courses, which marked the beginning of my freelance career
Participation in Erasmus exchange programs at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany) and Akdeniz University (Turkey)
An internship at Lazio Innova (Rome), where I developed skills in business planning, market research, customer analysis, and competitor analysis
I am currently seeking new career opportunities at the intersection of economics, art, fashion, and the creative industries, including roles related to management, digital content, branding, and cultural projects.
I am always open to connecting with professionals who share similar interests and values, to exchange experiences and grow together professionally.
