In summer of 2025 I did an internship with a design firm in Genoa, Italy called Via Garibaldi 12. My first project was to redesign a map of Genoa's historical district using various local businesses as landmarks. Using Adobe Illustrator I updated the original map into this design. I also designed the back of the map, which lists blurbs about each small business and groups them by what they're known for.
My other main project during this internship was to design a Loqi handbag for the firm. I sketched out some general ideas for the bag first and then, using feedback from my employer Lorenzo Bagnara, I settled on a basic design that depicted the front door to the store, which I iterated on to find a good color scheme. Lorenzo and I eventually settled on the blue and brown design.
Using Adobe Illustrator, I drew the vector graphic that will be used on the front of the bag. The bag has yet to be produced, but the image on the right has been approved as the final design by Lorenzo and his team.
