MariaBruna Curatolo

I am a passionate Sicilian-born graphic designer currently based in London. What represents me best is my huge “modern family,” who is always present in my life to support and cheer me on.
After graduating in Business Law, I discovered and embraced my artistic side, which led me to pursue a creative career. It was a turning point in my life where I chose to follow my passion, rather than settling for a conventional path.
Beyond my design work, my heart holds a deep love for crafting and for the sea, where I used to spend my days windsurfing, finding solace and peace in the silence of the sea.

During my academic journey, I decided to continue working to support myself and maintain my independence. The experience in front office taught me crucial skills such as organization, time management, and a strong work ethic. Balancing work commitments with my studies challenged me to become more efficient and focused in both aspects of my life. It taught me resilience and adaptability, and I learned how to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and multitask effectively. Additionally, working in an English-speaking environment allowed me to immerse myself in the language daily, resulting in significant improvement in my language skills.

SHILLINGTON COLLEGE, LONDON

Graphic Design Boot-camp

The classes are designed to mimic a studio environment, where I worked in real-time on briefs, deadlines, and received feedback, just like in an actual design studio. I learned design theory, principles, and fundamentals, but most importantly, I learned how to research, test, and problem-solve to create relevant design solutions that meet user needs.
