I’m Barbara. When I work on a project, I don’t look for the right solution. I look for the one that holds. The one with a clear direction. The one that can be recognised without explanation. The one that doesn’t need to be pushed. A mindset, a way of thinking, an approach that puts instinct at the centre of everything, even in the golden age of artificial intelligence. First, I make people fall in love with what they feel. Only then, with the work I create. I design brands and visual languages: corporate identity, editorial design, graphic and motion design. I work as a Creative and Art Director, collaborating for over 25 years with international agencies and multidisciplinary teams. Bringing strategic vision and execution together is how I make ideas work. I follow every project from the initial intuition to its final form. When everything is in place, and there’s nothing left to add. Because the right ideas don’t need explaining. They are recognised. And they stay.

    paper THE JACKAL META-SHOW LEDWALL

    CONCEPT
    What is The Jackal Meta-Show? It is an interactive, educational and entertaining 50-minute live show.
    I have been involved in the animated Ledwalls with The Jackal in Piazza Dante in Milan and Via Appia in Rome, main focus point for this project.
    I also designed and animated the live start countdown, explaining to viewers what to expect from The Jackal Meta-Show.
