PAOLA OSORNIO
I work across design, image, and objects, collaborating with brands and projects where concept, form, and execution matter equally. My background spans product design, 3D modeling, photography, and art direction, allowing me to move fluidly between strategy and making.
Over the years, I’ve worked on projects ranging from accessories and fashion to visual systems and product-led narratives, always focusing on building clear, cohesive outcomes rather than isolated visuals. I’m interested in how ideas translate into form, how materials and images carry meaning, and how design decisions shape perception.
My approach is analytical and visually driven, combining structure with intuition. I value clarity, consistency, and intention, and I’m drawn to work that requires both critical thinking and aesthetic precision.

AZUL INASIBLE (2025)
Accessory Design Studio project at Politecnico di Milano
Blue as concept. We all think as blue as the color of the sky and the sea, but is it really? Or does what we perceive come from an illusion?
This project explores reality as an invitation of looking again and choosing attention over accepting immediacy. It explores unreachability not as distance, but as perception: the way reality shifts through reflecton, movement and light.
A little surrealist, a little performative, a little like a magic trick. An invitation to not take things as they come.
Here, the statement “second chance first choice” becomes the act of looking again: of choosing awareness over immediacy.
The unreachable then is not about distance, but about the impossibility of fully grasping what is always changing.
HEIDELBURG (2024)
Sculpture design (concept + production)
The brief for this project was to create a sculptural piece for Wrinkle MX inspired by the iconic Heidelberg printing press. The design reimagines its mechanical elegance by replacing the traditional cylindrical rollers with cones, transforming the press into a dynamic interplay of geometry and perspective. From one side, the piece retains its structural form, while from the other, it collapses dramatically into a vanishing point, symbolizing the tension between order and chaos, functionality and abstraction.
The design process began with conceptual
