Matteo Guarnaccia Creative ServicesAbout
Matteo Guarnaccia (1993) is a Sicilian freelance designer based in Europe, working in between different design fields while trying to escape labelling. After studying design in Barcelona, he built experience in Los Angeles and Madrid. Numerous travel experiences helped Matteo in constructing a wider understanding of his surroundings. He holds a deep belief in design as a tool for problem-solving. Matteo is grateful to have worked and collaborated with Tate Modern Exchange, Onomatopee, CERN, Kvadrat, IKEA, HEAD Geneva, Curro Claret, Doctor Without Borders, Alcova, BASE Milano, Space10, TBA21, Manifesta15, Elisava Barcelona, The Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro, The National Gallery of Modern Art of Mumbai, Archivo y Arquitectura Mexico City, Macan Museum Jakarta, The African Artists Foundation in Lagos,  and many other nice people.
