Flavio Vincenti

RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

Flavio Vincenti is a designer and student from Italy, descendant of renaissance artists and pizza makers. At the age of 17, driven by a passion for baseball, he traveled across the globe to pursue his dreams. Even while playing, design already had a place in Flavio’s heart and one day, due to a bad injury, he transitioned to it full time. Since he was a child, Flavio was meticulous and attentive, had strong observational skills and a natural sense of composition. Flavio will graduate in the spring of 2016 with a BFA in Graphic and Interactive Communication and hopes to continue to grow and learn, experiment with new design ideas and technologies that simplify human-machine interaction, and create meaningful connections while having an impact on the present and future society.
