About me

Hey! I'm Valerio Colazingari, a designer with 8 years of experience specialising in branding and web design. My journey started in agencies as a graphic and brand designer, where I learned how much good design can shape a brand's identity and make a lasting impact. When COVID hit, I decided to dive into UI/UX and web design, adding some new tricks to my toolkit to stay sharp in the digital world.

I've had the best of both worlds—working solo as a freelancer and teaming up with some great people in startups and agencies. I know how to manage projects on my own, but I also love collaborating with others. I’m always ready to help out, bounce around ideas, and take in feedback to make sure we’re delivering something great.

Outside of design, I’m a big fan of traveling, meeting new people, and soaking in different cultures. I’m naturally curious, which I think makes life more fun and definitely adds a spark to my creative process. Oh, and I really enjoy socialising—whether it’s chatting with a friend over coffee or working on a cool project with a team, I’m all in.
