Francesco Pini is a designer.
Francesco lives and works in Berlin. He's not from Berlin though, he was born in Genova,
Italy, where they don't like designers at all.
After putting his nose in front of every beaten up Renaissance painting he could find, the smell of
"Cotoletta alla Milanese" pushed him to go and explore Milan.
Not far from the cathedral he learned about Bruno Munari and Enzo Mari, but what he really wanted to do was
that "new" design of intangible coloured rectangles on screens where you have to click here and there.
"That's the future!" he thought. And it was.
Francesco's rectangles ended up being clicked by millions of people!
Having a pint of Guinness at his local pub one day, after work, he came up with the idea of visiting an old
friend in Ireland and, instead of a weekend, he lived in Dublin for the next 3 years, doing the cliff walk
in Howth almost every Sunday.
Francesco worked for a big design studio with even bigger clients, he met a lot of guys with the suit and
Ireland's
Prime Minister (Taoiseach), who was wearing a suit as well.
One day he opened an Instagram account called "wrongish" to throw there all his experiments, discovering
that thousands of people were actually happy about that! In the meantime, it was time to move again.
In Berlin, he learned about the beauty of a "rebel" city.
Today Francesco plans art exhibitions, writes, draws graphic novels and crafts digital experiences keeps
thinking that design can make us happier. Maybe.
