Facilitator / Artist Overview

Antonella Morelli is a multidisciplinary visual designer and artist based in Melbourne, Australia. For over a decade, she has travelled and worked internationally as a graphic designer, bringing together a global perspective, a poetic sensibility, and a deep fascination with imagery, symbolism, and emotional storytelling.

Her artistic practice is rooted in collage art and with a surrealist influence, blending mixed media, photography, colour, and texture. 

Antonella began tutoring in Berlin in 2017, teaching Illustrator and Photoshop to emerging designers and guiding them into visual communication. She currently runs her own design studio, where she focuses on branding and visual design for clients across creative and commercial industries.

Antonella believes collage is a journey of self-expression, a space to unravel, reconnect, and translate feeling into visual language. In her workshops, she creates environments that are gentle, reflective, and empowering, encouraging participants to honour their voice and explore creativity without rules or pressure.
