I had more than the opportunity to interview Alessandro Aralla of Tolendo Design. Alessandro works with graphic design, commercial art, advertising, and much more.
Alessandro took the time out to let us know about him:
How long have you been in business?
Been in business for a year but still many years I am in charge of advertising and graphic design for several major advertising agencies as an art director, ever since I made the university.
What made you decide to open your business?
I love to work alone, it derives from the fact that I needed to have my own way of running things, not be employed by others, and create something personal.
What type of services do you provide? Do you have a specialized area?
Mainly we are dealing with commercial art, but we also offer a complete service, publishing, communication, web, corporate image.
