ABOUT ME
Hello! I’m Gabriele Sanna, also known as Hypernova. A product designer, graphic designer, and illustrator navigating a slightly wild world.
From playful illustrations to clean, functional products, my work is driven by rational thinking: breaking problems apart and translating complexity into clear, thoughtful design.
HARD SKILLS
SOFT SKILLS
DIVE IN INSPIRATIONS
I don’t just search for references; I deconstruct them. It is important to me to understand the why and the how, instead of just scrolling on Pinterest.
THE DIVIDE METHOD
Faced with a complex problem? I break it down into several parts, functional phases. Solving one piece at a time ensures the final result isn't just a quick fix, but a solid solution.
TEAM PLAYER & LONE WOLF
I thrive in multidisciplinary teams where we can swap skills like trading cards. That said, if a project requires a deep-dive solo mission, I’m perfectly comfortable steering the ship alone.
CLIENT FIRST STRATEGY
Before I start any project, I put on the client’s shoes. Really understanding the client brief is my secret weapon for delivering work that actually hits the mark.
EXPERIENCE
2004
I was born in Cagliari, a Sardinian city.
2018
I studied at Cagliari's Foiso Fois arts school, which sparked my passion for art and my deep interest in design.
2023
Once I finished school, I decided to further my studies in design by starting a degree course of three years at the University of Sassari.
NOW
My desire to learn and discover continues to grow. I'm currently studying and expect to graduate at the end of the year.
