it’s a bio

Tini is a visual designer born in 2001 in Bologna, Italy. Currently living, thinking, talking, sketching, experimenting and shaping ideas in Barcelona. Focused on graphic and interaction design, she aims to create projects that communicate, inspire, and provoke. A testament to the influence of critical design in her practice. Beyond the screen, collaboration, emotion, and humanity anchor everything she does because design is as much about people as it is about visuals.

In collaboration with Sun Aroch
Daily Exploration, 2026
Graphic Design

Creation collective focused on daily exploration of graphic creations, collages and digital archive.

01 A Hair Between Us

In collaboration with Sun Aroch
Useless Design Award, 2025
AI Experiment, Audiovisual

Hair is disgusting. Hair is intimate. Intimacy leaves evidence. Three everyday objects. Three simple interactions interrupted. Hair takes the place of what should connect, support, or ignite. Hair instead of a cord. Hair tangled between us. Hair blocking the sound.

02 Material OperAH

Mentored by Laura Freixas Conde
Final Project, ELISAVA, 2026
New Materials, Interaction Design

What if materials could be heard?

Sweat is natural. Sweat is visible. Visibility makes us uncomfortable. By making a temporary bodily trace permanent, the project exposes the discomfort that already exists around our bodies. Three video clips. Created through a combination of AI-generated imagery and recorded footage.

03 The Sweat Between Us

In collaboration with Sun Aroch
Second Series of A Hair Between Us, 2026
AI Experiment, Audiovisual

Sweat is natural. Sweat is visible. This visibility makes us uncomfortable. By making a temporary bodily trace permanent, this project exposes the discomfort that already exists around our bodies. Three video clips. Created through a combination of AI-generated imagery and recorded footage.

04 C.O.O.K.I.E.S.

Mentored by Saúl Baeza
Elisava, 2026
Social Design, Critical Design

C.O.O.K.I.E.S Your Consent Is My Meal is an offline experiment on eating informations. Every time we accept an information notice, we give away data that
the web collects, accumulates, and metabolizes.

05 Recluse

In collaboration with Rebecca Brusa
Thesis Project, IUAV, 2025
Social Design, Upcycling

Recluse is a collaborative project developed with women from the Il Sorriso community in Fontanelice (Bologna), a rehabilitation community for people recovering from drug addiction. In a five-day workshop, we co-designed and produced a sustainable fashion collection using textile waste and discarded garments, concluding with a public event.

06 Paper Makes Decisions

Mentored bySchäfer Jannis Claudius
Elisava, 2025
Low Tech Prototyping

Paper Makes Decisions is a series of three lighting pieces, two lamps and one candle, that begins with a deliberate shift in authorship: what happens when the material is no longer expected to comply, but is instead allowed to respond?
