About me
Hi, I'm Giulia.
I'm a Brazilian graphic designer and orchestral percussionist, based in Vienna and studying Graphic Design and Photography at the Kunstuniversität Linz.
I was drawn to graphic design long before I knew what it was called. As a teenager, I was fascinated by surreal photo montages, so I downloaded Photoshop and taught myself to make my own. My first real project was a wall artwork for my mother's café. Then music took over, and for more than 15 years my education and professional life were built around the music field.
Music is also what brought me back to design. While studying percussion, I started designing posters for my university's percussion ensemble, and soon for other musicians. In 2025, after moving to Europe, I decided to make graphic design my career.
Music still shapes my approach: I try to understand the material in depth, make deliberate choices and give every idea a clear structure. I work across graphic design, illustration and photography, and I'm most drawn to projects with room to go deep and more than one possible reading. Experimenting and crossing disciplines is essential to how I work, and I'm always looking to grow my skills and my creative perspective.
