Laura Santarelli, Phantasia

Teaches Art Direction in the English edition of the master

Laura is a graphic designer and art director based in Barcelona. After graduating in Visual Communication at Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany, she collaborated as image editor for Die Epilog magazine, before arriving to Barcelona and stepping into the design studios Mucho and Clase. In 2022 she co-founded Phantasia, where she works for a broad range of clients among different fields.

Phantasia provides creative services for imaginaries across the fields of visual activity. Banded together from a base camp in Barcelona, cooperating with an international field of view, we develop projects that give form to vision and voice to thought. Our services span branded communication, content production, printed media and digital products. Working with an ethics of horizontality, we seek out processes of collaboration that invoke empathy, curiosity and sustained encounter.

“There is no defined path, strict recipe nor ultimate plan when it comes to Art Direction. Together we will analyze the varieties of visual codes, search for unexpected resources and mark new and own points of view.”
