Cinzia Franceschini

Cinzia Franceschini – Designer

I'm an illustrator who works hard to transform complex ideas into simple and poetic images.

Overview

I’m a freelance illustrator based in Rome, Italy. My work is simple, essential and thought to communicate emotion through careful use of colour and space.

I work closely with my clients to create images that add value to the words and concepts they aim to express.
I have worked with newspapers, publishers, brands and private clients both for digital adult and children's publications and books.
Before becoming an illustrator I studied Italian and English Literature at the University of Venice. I love words as much as I love drawing and books are an important inspiration for my work.
