We introduce you some new profiles of people selected by the third creative call WHAT’S MORE ALIVE THAN YOU®

CRISTINA DE CESARE
THIS IS ME
Nigel – Dunnottar – South Africa, Febraury, 13 1974

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

From South Africa I take with me the colours, sounds, smells, light and open spaces.
Back to Italy when a child, my training continued with the study of metals first and later jewellery, sculpture and contemporary art.
I split myself up between my passions: design, art and photography, but my real obsession are the jewels and I do not like having them but drawing.
As a contemporary tailor I mend ideas and I create an original fabric. I do not like standardizations and I do not believe in misinformations. I love the contrasts of reality. Thanks to the “contrasts”…I find the “new”.
I live and work in Pescara.

ALBRECHT B. ENGEL
THIS IS ME
Münster, Germany – June 4, 1980

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

In my studies of architecture I have learned to love the geometric shapes, the essential and strict linearity and I was inspired by them to create new concepts of bags, unisex objects with simple design. My goal is to turn mainly women’s accessories into essential items with elegant lines and with a particular masculine style.

GALINA GREENBAND
THIS IS ME
Nikolaev-Ukraine, May 16, 1977

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

Newly graduated from Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Israel. My main focus is on designing shoes. I was born in Ukraine. Today I live in Tel-Aviv. But part of my childhood I have spent in Far North of the USSR, in Chukotka peninsula. Deeply impressed by the nature and the cultural legacy of this exotic place I still use it for my inspiration. The native people of the North believe that all the things surrounding them are possessed with a soul: rifle, shovel, and kettle. I also believe that. I practice this belief through my design. For this purpose I use natural materials like wool and leather.

VERONICA GIAIMO
THIS IS ME
Patti (Messina) – Italy, August 18, 1989

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

I was born in a small village in Sicily, where I have learned to observe everything. Since I was a child, the only alternative to the monotony of everyday life was playing with my mind, making objects breathing new life through colours, assembling shapes, making everything revive in something new. That’s why I consider myself futurist and a little bit visionary. When I grew up, I managed to apply all this to my passion, turning beauty into functionality. My aim is to create products assembling different materials, making shape and beauty an expression of utility.

COLLEEN P. GROGAN
THIS IS ME
Salt Lake City, Utah USA- June 23, 1988

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

I recently graduated from the Industrial Design program at Carnegie Mellon University with a minor in Architecture. I have a passion for design accessories of all types. I am currently working on a line of architecturally inspired jewellery for What’s More Alive Than You®. I am especially inspired by various materials and seek to create a delicate balance between various types of design within the realm of accessories.
