I-star...my name is pronounced without the "h", like the English word star, with an "i" in front of it...
This is what I normally say when I am asked what my name is... Isthar! I am a graphic designer and I am Italian... that seems a successful combination (being an Italian graphic designer). I still don�t know if I will be successful, but certainly I know I have a passion, and this is my job, to which I devote myself!
I started from a very young age to feel a strong attraction to the world of images, lines, colours, textures, materials... that is to say, attracted to "the visual world". When I was 14 years old I started my artistic education (Artistic Secondary School in Monza, Milano) with subjects such as Painting, Sculpture, Visual Communication, Technic Designing or History of Art. And when I became 19 years old I registered myself in the Polytechnic University of Milan to study Industrial Design and I started my approach to the Graphic Design. In 2003 I arrive in Spain for a rewarding Erasmus Interchange and I fell in love with this country. I went back to Milan and in 2004 I got my degree with the specialization in Visual Communication.
I started working in several Design Studies, first in Italy and later in Spain where I settled down. In 2008 I made an important decision and started to work on my own as a "free-lance" graphic-communication designer... and here I carry on, with plenty of ideas and energy!
