“Every project must tell a story that will make it unforgettable“

Davide Colla graduated in 2011 in Graphic Design at IED Milano. He talks about himself as a loud example of how being a dreamer can take you to the top. On some mornings, he drives up to IED, where he teaches Graphics, Interaction design and Art Direction. On others he’s training for his next football match. Most mornings though, you’ll find him at his desk in 150UP, the booming digital - branding studio in Milan, of which he is Founder and Creative Director.

My advice for students is to have a tireless attitude and never get tired of learning from other designers: everything starts from study, culture and external incentives. Of course, technology makes every project possible, but it all starts with a great idea behind it”, sentences Colla.

Read all his professional journey and the projects that defined his career here.
