    View my portfolio: cguernelli.wixsite.com/portfolio Winner of the best Digital Content of the year 2023 Asia My name is Christian Guernelli I have held multiple fashion design roles both in Italy and in the United States over the last twenty-five years, gaining extensive experience in designing total looks and accessories for both men’s and women’s collections. In 2019, I began utilizing 3D and digital software to accelerate the design process, create realistic images for presentations, and enhance research and creativity in the design process. A couple of years ago, I also incorporated the power of artificial intelligence into my design process. I've had the opportunity to contribute to Zoom on Fashion Trends, LA Times, Newsweek, Forbes, SHOWstudio, and Harper's Bazaar with my digital design and fashion artwork. Designed for world-renowned brands like Iceberg, Zara, Zegna, C.P. Company, Stone Island, PARCO, Woolrich, and John Varvatos has been an incredible experience. One of my art pieces was even exhibited by Sotheby’s in six of its international locations before being sold as part of a charity event. I believe these past experiences, combined with my passion for fashion, make me an ideal candidate for freelance and full-time design positions.
