My Story
My name is Giada Mannino. I am a visual communication designer and front-end developer with a passion for sustainable design and creating positive change. Born in Italy and raised in the United States, I now (mostly) reside in Arizona. I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Science in Design from Arizona State University, where my research focused on sustainable design education. I believe that sustainability principles should be at the core of how designers are taught, recognizing the profound influence design has on how people experience and perceive the world.
After spending 10 years working in the sustainability non-profit sector, I combined my expertise and vision to launch my own design business, Giada Creative, in 2019. Through my work, I strives to craft thoughtful, impactful designs that align with my commitment to health, wellness, and environmental stewardship.
When I’m not immersed in design, you can find me traveling the world, hiking and exploring the wilderness, or playing sand volleyball.
