Welcome

I’m an interdisciplinary Visual Designer combining concept development, visual identity, social content and motion.
I explore how design can shape narratives, amplify voices and make complex ideas visually tangible.

Here you can see how I think, create and turn ideas into visuals.

About Me

My name is Alina Bertacca and I am an interdisciplinary visual designer and art director. I work across concept development, narrative-driven visual design and digital media. My background in film and motion continues to shape how I design today — influencing my visual language, my narrative approach and my sense of atmosphere.

I create work across visual identity, digital and social content, editorial design, motion and experimental media. I’m interested in how visuals shape cultural narratives and how design can challenge, shift and reinterpret the structures behind them.

I often take on creative direction roles and enjoy guiding multidisciplinary, collaborative projects. My approach is feminist and intersectional, grounded in the belief that design can uncover bias, broaden perspectives and enable more intentional ways of seeing.
