Andrea Molteni

Communication Designer

At a glance

Born and raised in Milan, I love everything but latecomers. I am a fan of movies and tv shows in English, and cars. I am an all-round designer: I work on a broad range of subjects including movie design, interaction design, web design, graphic design, branding.

The experience abroad

In 2013 I moved to London and worked as an intern for a design studio: I still consider it to be one of the most relevant parts of my academic and professional career.

Good design is invisible. Think of it like a room’s air conditioning. We only notice it when it’s too hot or the unit is dripping. Yet, if the air conditioning is perfect, nobody says anything and we can focus on the task at hand.
