Leonardo Gava was born in Conegliano (TV) in 1993. Always passionate about photography, he earned his bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences at IUSVE Mestre (VE) and his master's degree in Visual Communication Design at the IUAV University of Venice. He currently works as a graphic designer and photographer at Venice, where he lives. From 2023 he returned to the IUAV University of Venice as a teaching assistant at User Interface design class.

I'm Leonardo Gava, graphic designer and photographer currently based near Conegliano, the land of Prosecco wine in Italy. I graduated in May 2020 at IUAV University of Venice in MA Visual communication design with a thesis about "Web cartography and user experience for hiking. Design an application for mountain tourism". My approach to design isn't all about aesthetics, it's more about finding the adequate solution to problems with a touch of charm.
