Illustrator
Hi, I’m Alissa, an Italian illustrator and animator based in Banksy’s hometown Bristol, UK.
Drawing on a background in the branding and advertising industry, I illustrate vibrant, heartfelt and thought provoking scenes across editorial, publishing, brand and motion.
Always beaming with colour and textures reminiscing of paint rollers and pencils, I love using my illustrations to create captivating and educative imagery on nature, travel, mental health and food. Having worked extensively with NGOs and purposeful enterprises I’ve also had the honour of lending my creative voice to important issues like sustainability, activism, social justice, women’s health and rights, R&I and international development.
For all publishing projects I’m represented by the Bright Agency
ANIMATION
As a self-taught animator I’ve worked on a wide range of projects – from global campaign videos to explainer videos for charities and even indie music videos. I love using movement to bring the tiny details of illustrations and storyboards to life.
Depending on the complexity of the project, I might use Procreate, Photoshop, After Effects or Premiere to bring these stories to life.
You can find examples of my work here.
DESIGN
As a designer l’ve worked with studios all over Europe, across a broad range of disciplines – from branding to editorial and webdesign, as well as developing illustration styles based on a brand’s conceptual and visual foundations.
While focusing mostly on illustration these days, I occasionally still work on small freelance brand projects.
