c u r r i c u l u m v i t a e Bonaria Staffetta web designer and illustrator I have been working in graphic design and visual communication for 15 years. I love drawing - manually and digitally. I am interested in working with new technologies on interactive projects as well as creating illustrations. At 32 I moved to Barcelona, the city where I currently work as a web designer and study drawing, painting and illustration. To relax I enjoy cooking and try to balance the damage of the days spent in front of the computer with an ashtanga yoga practice. My interests include illustrated books, comics and cinema. Born in Sicily, at the age of 6 I already aspired to become a cartoonist. At 21 I moved to Turin to do a course for comic designers. While I was doing this course I also attended the University of Turin and graduated with a degree in multi media. During my time in Turin I was also working as a web designer and completed a course in video editing and another in Maya (3D software package) at the European Institute of Design.
