BIO

Clara is an Italian-born Chinese graphic designer based in Vancouver, Canada. After obtaining her first degree in Foreign Languages and Literature at the University of Florence, Italy, in 2012 she pursued her true passion for design. She began her design journey in Shanghai, China, and gained industry experience at the Shanghai-based Australian communication agency Paper Stone Scissors.

At the end of 2016, she moved to Canada to complete her bachelor’s degree
in Graphic Design. Following graduation in 2018, she joined Ballentine Media,
a local boutique branding agency, as a junior brand designer. During her time there,
she worked on a wide range of projects, including brand identities, digital and print ad campaigns, packaging design, photoshoots, and web design for local and US-based brands.

Since 2021, she’s been freelancing as a graphic designer from her home studio in Vancouver - a haven filled with plants and flowers - collaborating with clients from diverse industries in the fashion, lifestyle, education, health, and beauty spaces.

When she’s not at the desk designing and illustrating, she hits the gym for weight training, practicing yoga, and rolling Brazilian Jiujitsu with her team in Chinatown.
