Undergraduate Course in Textile & Fashion design
My name is Martina Girardo, and I was born on 05/07/2000 in Vado Ligure, a small town in Liguria near Savona. Since I was a child, I felt a strong attraction to art and the creative world. I spent entire days in solitude in my room, creating small projects that allowed me to immerse myself in a world of textures and colors.
As I grew up, I decided to attend the Arturo Martini artistic high school in Savona, where I delved into the fine arts and art history. Once completed, I felt the need to explore new artistic languages. Fashion became a powerful and immediate expressive method for me, extremely impactful and avant-garde, allowing me to give space to my reflections and creative attitude.
I moved to Turin to attend IAAD. in the Fashion program, starting a new life in a large city completely absorbed by a free, inclusive, and forward-looking reality.

Undergraduate Course in Transportation design
My name is Giorgio Monforte. I was born in Catania, and after the end of my scientific high school education, I decided to dive, against all expectations, into the world of Transportation design. The combination of these worlds has allowed me to approach every situation through two different perspectives that collaborate (in a good way and not) in my design processes.
I love looking, fixing, analyzing, driving, and sketching cars, and I hope to work permanently in this world that IAAD. has allowed me to discover.

Undergraduate Course in Interior design
Sweet in character. I was born in Bologna, where I undertook artistic studies focused on design. Fascinated by the study of light design, I will find its declination in several of my university projects, in addition to the conceptual research I carry out.
I pay a lot of attention to the graphics design of my projects, another great passion of mine. After years of dedication to artistic skating, I decided to shift my interest to the world of clubbing and what orbits around it.
