RACHELE T.
Italia
It's not easy to describe who I am in a few words, but I'll give it a try. I am an autistic, non-binary, queer person with an exaggerated passion for art, fantasy, video games, building with bricks, gumpal and crafting of all kinds, from painting to laser cutting, from paper crafting to mould making and resin projects, as well as leatherworking. I am also a freelance graphic designer and illustrator with my own small brand, if we want to call it that, Rachelosamente: a project driven by my passion for always having my hands in something creative, for board games, role-playing games, video games, and fantasy. Alongside this, I also collaborate with a small non-profit organisation, NoCages. I have been volunteering with them for years now, a relationship based on a mutual desire to offer training and information on issues that are important to me, such as human rights, feminism and the LGBTQIA+ community. It is a project that has always been promoted through social media channels and is now launching its own website. I started at No Cages as a graphic designer, and now I manage and coordinate the graphics and video department. I developed the internal workflow, designed the brand identity (starting from a pre-existing logo and mood) and now I am responsible for its ongoing development, keeping it constantly updated and reviewing the work carried out by the guys and girls in the creative department. I come from a long educational background, driven by a desire to improve and learn more about art, visual communication and beyond. I started with a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Graphic Design at LABA Rovereto, then I obtained a three-year diploma in Editorial Illustration at TheSign Academy in Florence and finally I took a course in Concept Art at the Event Horizon School.
