My name is Brando Corradini, I am 29 years old and I am a graphic designer. Since my childhood my world was drawing and coloring and this passion of mine led me to undertake higher studies in the artistic field which was followed by a three-year degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication, achieved in 2013 at the Academy of Fine Arts “RUFA " From Rome. I consider myself completely creative but above all I am an artist. In what I do and in what I am I always want to be free, far from any rule. I don't like certain stakes, even when I worked for companies or other companies, I felt imprisoned within certain rules. I have traveled a lot and this has given me the opportunity to have new experiences. For my works I draw inspiration from everything that surrounds me, from what I live, from what every day passes before my eyes, making life a wonderful muse. Currently I have opened a streetwear clothing line "NOMADE CLOTHING" with Studio Mylab3d, by Damiano Primiceri, a dear friend of mine since the days of art school who is interested in 3D design and modeling. Today I am what I am because, over time, I realized that I didn't want to be just a graphic designer but rather a "graphic artist". I would like to become a person known worldwide: my dream is to have a page on Wikipedia!

Claudia’s work is based on her personal experience as a heterosexual woman in modern world dating, and her view on female sexuality along with humour and sarcasm. Behind her colourful cartoon-based images, there is always a simple message or a lighthearted joke. The caption is a very important element to the imagery because she believes a piece of good work is not only visually interesting, but it also needs to serve a purpose.
