Alessio Varvarà

Graphic Designer

Palermo, Italy
"Ciao! Sono un giovane designer di 27 anni che vive a Palermo. Laureato in Graphic Design all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo (with honors), sono alla ricerca, da sempre, di fare della mia passione anche il mio lavoro. Nonostante sia da soli sette anni che opero nel settore, ho già lavorato per aziende e start-up di particolare rilevanza sia a livello locale che internazionale. Seguo tuttora diverse attività da freelancer e ho partecipato a progetti volti anche alla valorizzazione del territorio siciliano, contribuendo in particolare alla possibilità di ospitare nella mia città natale “Manifesta 12”, la rinomata Biennale europea di arte contemporanea."
