About Me

I’m Sofia Cucchi, a Milan-based designer, digital artist, and lecturer with over 10 years of experience working across fashion, print, and visual storytelling.

My work blends 2D/3D digital tools with textiles and natural materials, creating pieces that explore the uncanny, the surreal, and the beautifully strange. I’m drawn to aesthetics that challenge norms and reframe perception.

As a designer, I bring together artistic vision and commercial awareness. I've collaborated with international brands including Moschino, Off-White, Bvlgari, and others, delivering high-impact product design, and concept development.

Since 2017, I’ve also been a lecturer at IED Moda Milano, where I teach students how to develop and manage creative assets for fashion printing and visual research. I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of creatives, helping them develop strong design narratives and technical fluency.

I hold a degree in Fashion Design from IED Milano, and continued my studies in the arts at Central Saint Martins (UAL) in London. During the pandemic, I expanded my practice through Art Therapy training at Accademia di Brera, integrating a more reflective and human-centered dimension into my work.

My practice is grounded in ethics and curiosity, with a focus on sustainability, and the power of visual storytelling to shift perspectives.

If you're looking for a designer who moves fluidly between concept, craft, and communication we might have something to create together.

MY INFLUENCES.

  • Julie Verhoeven

    Julie Verhoeven's work has captivated me from the moment I first laid eyes on it. Her illustrations, both fast and precise yet bursting with chaos, are alive with color and spontaneity. Her unique style has been a profound influence on my creative journey.

  • Vivienne Westwood

    Vivienne Westwood

    Ever since my angsty teenage years, my admiration for Vivienne Westwood has only grown stronger. The more I've discovered about her work, particularly her early punk experiments and theatrical exhibitions, the deeper my devotion has become.

  • Gilbert & George

    The British duo Gilbert and George have always fascinated me with their rebellious approach to art. Often misunderstood and unfairly judged, they remained steadfast in their storytelling and methods, showcasing remarkable sensitivity and a masterful use of color.

  • Junji Ito

    Junji Ito, the Japanese horror mangaka, captivates me with his unparalleled talent for crafting stories that both terrify and enthrall. My admiration for him stems from these qualities, as well as his dedication to working and his humble approach to his art, which make him an inspiring figure to me.
