Martina Ciardi
Industrial Designer
Hi! My name is Martina Ciardi, I am 22 years old and I currently study design at ISIA Design Florence.
I live in Empoli (Italy), in the province of Florence, but I love the idea of undertaking new journeys, moving around and getting to know new realities.
Since high school, I have studied painting and sculptural techniques in depth, fueling my passion for the artistic and cultural field. My skills then evolved, embracing digital illustration, 3D modeling and graphics. In my free time, I like to dedicate myself to personal projects that range from creating spontaneous 3D models to logos for possible brands.
I studied pictorial anatomy in high school and industrial design at university: I like to define myself as a digital sculptor.
