a.k.a. Lina Toffini

architect • designer • visual artist

IN SHORT

I create worlds — both tangible and imagined.
As a visual designer, mixed media painter and architect, my universe blends bold colors, geometry, and layered stories into meaningful experiences — across screens, walls, objects, and environments.

Analytical by nature, artistic by instinct — I shape visual narratives that are emotional, playful, and human-centered.

WORK

Since 2007, I’ve collaborated with clients and companies from Europe to East Asia and South America. The worlds I've helped build span across:

• architecture & interior design
• furniture & product design
• 3D modeling & rendering
• graphic & brand design
• installations & stage design
• video editing & motion graphics
• web & interaction design

From sketches to building permits, from concepts to final pixels, I design spaces and stories that resonate — whether in the physical or digital world.

Based in Paris, I currently work as a freelance designer — open to creative challenges that bridge disciplines, mediums, and ways of thinking.
