I'm Sarah Pistillo, an Italian freelance
graphic & digital designer, based by the ocean — between Australia and Europe.
Hello! Ciao!
I'm pasta-obsessed and a eco-sustainability follower, who loves camping in the nature, swimming belly up in the ocean , and pizza baking.
I started my career at a design agency in Italy and then I moved to Montreal, Canada. I was part of a young team that worked on augmented reality, dealing with infographics and editorial design.
Moved by a desire to help someone with my profession, I flew to Kolkata, India and after months of studying (and living on skin) their culture, I founded a "Indian Women Empowerment" project, that makes boys and girls in schools aware of the importance of gender equality.
Back in Europe, I worked in Rotterdam where I had so much fun as designer for guerrilla marketing and social media.
The following year I moved to Australia and started to work in a couple of studios as graphic and digital designer, bringing with me a diverse cultural background.
In 2020, exactly during the global pandemic , I decided to make freelancing full-time job. And here I am!
