ABOUT
My name is Rinat De Picciotto and I am an interdisciplinary creative working with a background in both psychology and design. Seemingly a curious combination, there are many overlaps between the two as they both attempt to understand individuals and their behaviour in different ways. At the core of both disciplines lies empathy — that ability to connect and take on the perspective, thoughts and feelings of another. Utilizing this core principle to understand people, issues and problems, I use communication design to expand awareness, create understanding or engage in conversation and action as a way to effect positive change.
I work primarily with charity, nonprofit or public organizations that align with the values of building compassion, transparency and inclusion with the aim of creating positive social impact and innovation.
