I have known Arianna for a year, and we immediately found a strong rapport that led us to establish an ongoing collaboration , allowing us to enhance the content of our specialized newspaper through her professional ability to illustrate news in an original and engaging way.
Each week, we jointly analyze and create a cartoon that visually highlights the most significant article, striking a balance between seriousness and light irony.

I have had the pleasure to watch Arianna working as a visual artist. She is very good at listening to you while she processes the most relevant information and recap it, really fast, in a visual way, on paper, with images and colours. She is an artist, but her background as an Economist help her to see further than what you tell her and to simplify complexity.
