Hi there,
​
My name is Anna Bonsignorio. I’m an Italian illustrator and graphic designer currently based in Italy. Growing up on the west coast shaped my visual language—rooted in observation, emotion, and a balance of simplicity and detail. My work explores themes of human connection, inner growth, and visual storytelling across editorial, publishing, branding, and socially engaged projects.
​
I graduated with First-Class Honours in Illustration from the Edinburgh College of Art in 2024 and have since worked as a freelance illustrator, lead illustrator, and graphic designer. These experiences strengthened my skills in visual communication, project management, and coordinating creative teams in both cultural and commercial contexts.
​
I am adaptable to client needs, producing illustrations for web and print as well as graphic design work including logos, visual identities, and promotional materials. I have collaborated with organisations such as International Justice Mission, Children in Scotland, CCPS, Strathberry, the University of Edinburgh, TravelTech, Sanitree, and Crumble Magazine, translating complex ideas into clear and thoughtful design solutions.
​
I am currently expanding my expertise in Graphic Design at the California Institute of the Arts (remotely) and remain open to freelance projects and agency representation.
I’m currently open to freelance projects and seeking agency representation.
