Glad you are here :)
I am Carolina Bonani, a 22-year-old graphic designer and visual artist from Rio de Janeiro, currently in my final year of studying Visual Communication Design at PUC-Rio.
My creative process often revolves around nature. I incorporate: Animals, their instincts, and intentions; Plants, their movement and aesthetic, into my narratives and messages, exploring mostly digital media as a tool for expression.
Throughout my studies, I have pursued international experiences that shaped my creative approach. During high school, I completed a one-month exchange at UCLA in Los Angeles to study English. Later, during university, I spent a year in Berlin at BSDC (Berlin School of Design and Communication), where I studied Graphic Design. Additionally, I was awarded a scholarship for a summer course at Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK), where I explored abandoned spaces in the course "Exploring Atopies: De-Generated Places." These experiences expanded my perspective on design, space, and storytelling.
Professionally, I spent a year and a half as a design intern at Jabuticasa, a Rio-based furniture design brand, where I refined my skills in clean, structured layouts. Currently, I work as a Junior Graphic Designer at Out Off Office, a global digital marketing agency. There, I contribute to projects such as Sephora University and GraziEyewear by Luxottica, and others.
My work exists in the intersection of design, nature, and storytelling—constantly evolving, always searching.
