Partial transcription of the video
“Presentation Hi, my name is Nadia Leo and I am a graphic designer, calligrapher and botanical illustrator. Before starting the course I want to tell you something about me and my work. I've always been a very curious child, and I loved putting things together and taking them apart. I had a dad who took me home a lot of recycled material, from his papers to other things he used at work. And with that I was wasting my time assembling and reassembling and invent things.

A course by Nadia Leo
Nadia Leo is a graphic artist, calligrapher, and illustrator. Curious and creative from an early age, she studied graphic design in high school and continued her education at an arts' lyceum to master both disciplines that would later define her career.
She spent many years creating graphic content for the advertising industry at a time when manual techniques like cut-outs, mock-ups, drawings, and collages were still the norm. As these traditional methods gave way to digital tools, Nadia wanted to explore the art of letters beyond the typography offered in classes and decided to dive into the world of calligraphy focusing on a more personal and artisan approach.
Thanks to this art form, she started to collaborate with fashion brands like Hermès and to create stationery for weddings and events. During lockdown in 2020, she rekindled her passion for drawing and discovered painting with watercolors, which opened a world of possibilities for illustrating plants and flowers. She currently shares her creations on Instagram and has designed her own collection of nature-inspired stationery items.
