Sylva Giovannelli

I live in Essen in a very creative and inspiring district surrounded by very nice people. I have my own studio with gallery in a historic building, a former flower store from the 20s of the last century.
A special atmosphere to be able to work creatively!
Besides my work in the digital world, I like to balance painting with real colors. I am interested in people, light, moods, nature and moments.
I love travelling, especially to my second home, the Italian Riviera. In a new environment, I can perceive the special moments intensively and attentively.

I studied and made my degree in Graphic Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund.
After my diploma as a communication designer, I started an apprenticeship as an advertising saleswoman in a local advertising agency. I wanted to get into advertising and lacked commercial know-how.
Until I received an offer from a university to assist in the development and design of courses and study materials. And I'm still there today. Only thematically a little further moved towards the new media, web and portals.

In addition to my job as a designer, I have spent several years - since 2015 - training as a consultant in difficult situations or crises. So, as an experienced contact person, I can assist my colleagues and friends in special situations.
