Luciana Canu
Graphic Designer
Ciao, I’m Luce, a passionate designer with a love for textiles, swimwear, and creating unique designs. Self-taught and formally trained, I combine hands-on experience with digital skills to bring ideas to life.
With a strong background and a genuine passion for textiles, swimwear, and design, I bring your creative ideas to life. I am a self-taught designer who has cultivated my skills through formal study and hands-on experience, combining artistry, craftsmanship, and digital expertise to create memorable and customised designs.
I studied Digital Pattern Design, Print & Swimwear Design at UAL, and later completed Graphic Design at Shillington College in London. My interests span repeating pattern design, fashion, illustration, and swimwear, and I love creating unique, hand-drawn patterns and transforming them into fabrics, accessories, or swimwear.
I specialise in custom, one-of-a-kind designs that can be applied to multiple surfaces—whether it’s textiles, wallpapers, packaging, or branding materials—ensuring every project leaves a lasting impact. I am also experienced in brand identity creation, including logos, colour palettes, typography, and visual storytelling.
Additionally, I have expertise in UI/UX design, creating user-friendly and visually appealing digital interfaces for websites and apps.

In 2022, I graduated as a Graphic Designer at Shillington College in London—a milestone I celebrated with my supportive teachers and fellow designers, a moment I will never forget.
My journey from Sardinia to London, from hand-drawing patterns to creating custom swimwear and digital designs, reflects my belief that creativity and persistence can turn any vision into reality.
It was a moment I will never forget—celebrating this milestone alongside my fellow graphic designer, Shillo, friends and the teachers who supported me throughout my journey.
