Patrick Bonato

I’m a 29-year old who was drawing from early childhood on. As a teen, my hand-painted shirts became very popular in my hometown Innsbruck, so I was soon given the chance to do my first professional poster. That led the way to graphic-design.
In 2010 I’ve finished my studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, and now I’ve started to work as a free lance graphic-designer & illustrator in Lucerne, Switzerland. I also work part-time at Sennhauser Creative Consulting in Zurich.
