Meet the Founder
Hi! I’m Valeria, founder of Aetèra Studio. My life has always been shaped by art and storytelling, but
living and working in Italy, surrounded by its history and visual heritage, has given me a unique
perspective on how the two can come together in my work. While studying arts at the University of Bologna,
I became deeply interested in the business and communications side of that world, which later led me to
specialise in branding and digital storytelling at the Polytechnic University of Milan.
My passion for both the arts and branding has taken me to some extraordinary places. I’ve worked in
marketing across creative studios, cultural organisations, international tech startups, and large
education groups, helping brands support their business goals by articulating who they are clearly,
consistently, and with purpose. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of teaching about branding and
marketing within the Italian fashion industry.
Aetèra Studio was born as a natural progression of my work in creative communication, shaped by a strong
vision where aesthetics and strategy are inseparable. Now based in Cork, I work with local and
international brands to bring clarity, coherence, and a touch of Tuscan charm to how they show up,
communicate, and connect.
Curious about what working together could look like?
