Isola is a colourful Visual Designer who lives between Milan and Naples.
She was born in southern Italy, meaning she could eat, looking at the sea and stare at the sun all day.
After graduating at Politecnico di Milano, she worked for Ginette Caron and XYcomm. In 2013 she started her collaboration with Pitis e Associati and today is Design Director of the studio. She has had the privilege to re-design the New Wired Italia, awarded at SPD52 with the “Gold Medal” for the category “Best magazine of the year“; and the honour to re-design the New Vanity Fair Italia, awarded at SPD55 with “Silver Medal” for the category “Design: Fashion and Beauty“.
As a freelancer, her approach is both strategic and creative, quality and solutions-oriented. Her commitment is to best tell a brand’s story, transforming ideas into powerful visual experiences.
She has travelled to-and-froed over the world. That’s why she started the project Buenaonda. Her biggest dream is to discover the rest of the world. One day she will!
Her sparkling and colourful design is a way to express her love for life.
