About

I'm a creative designer based in Verona, Italy. I work directly with established fashion premium brands, start up and suppliers worldwide, supporting them throughout the full design process from concept ideas to final production (Italy/China). Graduate at IED Florence, along the years I have been collaborated with some of the most relevant brands in the premium fashion industry worldwide (USA and EU market), helping them to scale their business and consolidate their positions, or supporting start-up projects. Guided by passionate spirit, clear vision and resilient mindset, by using a worldly perspective when creating new design I am able to make them sellable, unique and wearable. www.chiaracesaracciodesign.com
