visual designer & researcher


My name is Ludovica Polo, and I am a visual designer and researcher working between Venice and Milan. 
I have a strong propensity to editorial design, branding, content creation and type design, but I also enjoy to experience other fields of design. I consider myself as a 360° creative.
