Mister Gatto is a creative atelier specialising in design research and consultancy for communication systems.

We design following a method: observation, originality, uniqueness, creativity mistakes, experimentation, serendipity, crafts and user participation. This approach is all that excites us today.
Mister Gatto is: Gianluca Camillini and Margherita Micheli.

 

Alongside their design practice, since 2013 Gianluca has been employed as a researcher and aggregate professor until 2024, when he became associate professor of visual communication at the Faculty of Design and Art – Free University of Bozen.
He holds a PhD in typography and graphic communication at the University of Reading (Uk). From 2015 to 2018 he was a member of the national board of AIAP and director of its education department.
