Graphic Designer | Born 1997 | Italy
Hi, I'm Mattia Zanardi aka Snip, an Italian graphic designer born-and-raised in Brianza, just outside Milan. My journey into graphic design began during high school, transitioning from amateur graffiti with friends to a passion that has become my profession.​​​​​​​
Beyond Design
I draw inspiration from the harmonies of music, the dynamic energy of football and basketball, the fascinating world of art and the vibrant tapestry of pop culture. My surroundings, combined with the diverse influences that Internet culture has brought into my life, shape my creative perspective.
Synthesis of Passion and Profession
As a dedicated graphic designer, I merge my love for design with diverse influences, infusing creativity, storytelling, and a touch of my unique style into every project.
Welcome to my portfolio, where pixels meet passion, and design becomes an art form.
