Hola
Charlie Zinno. Designer.
I’m an argentinian multidisciplinary designer based in California. My work spans Branding, UX/UI, Motion and Typography, with experience managing teams and providing organization to design projects.
My work is a balance of
Branding
Throughout my professional career, I’ve created identity systems for a wide range of clients, from startups and small businesses to large-scale organizations. Regardless of the client, my goal has remained the same: create cohesive, innovative, and powerful brands.
UX/UI
I’m passionate about innovative human-centered design and creating experiences that facilitate user interactions. I’ve participated in multidisciplinary teams with engineers, scientists and industrial designers, from companies that use DNA to create training programs to NFT trading platforms.
Typography
My work focuses heavily on Typography. I have designed custom typefaces for clients and for self-initiated personal projects.
