Alex Weste
alex.weste@chialab.itKunst Direktor
Sono entrato in primo contatto con il mestiere visivo nella pubblicità, a Stoccarda. Ho studiato Design, Tipografia, Grafica Editoriale e Fotografia all’ISIA di Urbino e nella facoltà di Design della Comunicazione alla Hochschule di Augusta. I miei continui pellegrinaggi tra Italia e Germania hanno aperto il campo visivo, mescolando le culture progettuali del Nord e del Sud. Dopo un approdo a Milano, nel 1998 mi sono stabilito a Bologna, dove ho incontrato Beppe Chia. Con un riguardo speciale per la tipografia, mi occupo della direzione artistica e progetto soprattutto in editoria, identità visive e allestimenti.

Antonio D’Elisiis
antonio.delisiis@chialab.itDesigner
Graduated first in Graphic Design and then specialized in visual and motion design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, where I realized an experimental project about the new methods of reading creating a multimedia e-book called Guardalontano, I decided to move in 2019 to Lausanne to gain more experience during a second Master in Type Design at Ecal (Ecole Cantonale d’Art Lausanne).
As a designer I’m interested in parallel to my academic studies, with practical work in art direction, programming of interactive systems and interfaces, type, web, motion and graphic design.
The research and experimentation represent an important binomial in my growth path to encourage the creation of new projects and forms of communication that are never banal in form and in content. I’m also work on the interrelation of complexity and simplicity, analogue and digital, art and industry, these are the pillars of my design thinking.

Edoardo Cavazza
edoardo.cavazza@chialab.itSoftware Architect / Accessibility Consultant
I grew up among the smells of ink and freshly printed paper, looking with curiosity at the world of graphic design. After learning the basics of programming at the High School, and eager to explore both worlds, I took a multimedia communications course that put me in touch with Chialab, where I've grown as a web developer since 2012. Working on institutional websites and EdTech applications, I developed an interest in typography, readability, and accessibility. I am on the mission to promote and improve the synergy between designers, programmers and tools through talks, articles, training and technical leadership of teams developing components.

Nel 2019, all’indomani del diploma, è iniziata la mia esperienza in Chialab come impaginatore: Chialab per me è il luogo e l’occasione in cui formarmi e crescere in ambito umano e professionale.

I have always been interested in computers and the world of IT since I was a child and I organised my school career around it.

Livia Gabbianelli
livia.gabbianelli@chialab.itDesigner / Processi di rigenerazione urbana
Laureata in Beni Culturali, con un passato da libraia. Nel 2019 ho deciso di cercare un modo diverso per valorizzare le competenze relazionali sviluppate nel tempo. Dopo aver frequentato il Master in Europrogettazione della Venice International University, ho iniziato un percorso di formazione sul campo per apprendere come i progetti europei possano diventare strumenti per la costruzione e l’accompagnamento di processi di rigenerazione. Lungo questo cammino ho iniziato a lavorare in Chialab, grazie a un tirocinio formativo sulla gestione di progetti, e continuo a sperimentare come mettere in relazione la potenza del design e la necessità di cambiamento insita nei processi di rigenerazione.
