My name is Beatrice Rachello and I’m a graphic and visual designer recently graduated at Iuav University (Venice, Italy).

My passion for design comes from my love for magazines and the balance between experimentation and strictness they bear.
In my MA graduation project I analyzed magazines as sistems spreading their contents through different platform, and I’ve become interested in the delivery of a coherent message declined for different platforms, media and public.
