I am Sym, Simona Casolari, and I work in the visual communication field
I have been doing it with passion for several years, for companies, startups and entrepreneurs with a story to tell. My greatest satisfaction? My clients’ feedbacks.
In my toolbox you will find: utensils for conceiving logos and visual identities, pencils for drawing characters and illustrations, graphic and layout supplies, and video creation tools. I also deal with editorial newsletters planning and management, and website development.
Curiosities
To get to know me a little more, here are a couple of funny and unusual anecdotes about myself.
(Ps. Yes, I’m the one who draw the illustrations below)
Born and raised in Italy, I have worked in Dublin, Paris, San Francisco and the Caribbean. At the moment I live and work in Montpellier.
I moved to Dublin without being able to articulate a sentence in English and to Paris without speaking a word of French. Today I am fluent in both languages.
I went to a meeting in Silicon Valley on a two-seater plane. And for a short distance the pilot let me have the controls.
I developed my first website at the age of 16, in pure HTML. It was very fast and, I must admit, not so pretty either.
I love cartoons and I like watching them over and over again, always as if it was the first time.
Happy clients
Over the years I had the pleasure of working with truly outstanding business and entrepreneurs such as Audi, de Grisogono, Diesel, Lardini, L’Oréal Paris, and more. For them, I dealt with graphic design, digital product development, newsletters and editorial planning, illustration, marketing strategies, website and e-commerce development.
And I keep doing so with passion and dedication.

“We have been collaborating with Simona for about 4 years on a very interesting school safety project. Together, we imagined two illustrated characters, Leo and Charlotte, with a real episode-structured story and the desire to make them grow year on year. Simona is a brilliant, creative, attentive, and very professional person. It’s a real pleasure to work with her!”
