Gaia Elise Gallinaro
associate creative director
I was born and raised on bread and wine
in the countryside of Florence, Italy.
I hopped on a plane in 2009 for Miami to study Art and Anthropology, and then woke up one day in Los Angeles working in Advertising.
I have this profound need to create and
to express how I see magic in the world.
