Natalia Gianinazzi
Natalia Gianinazzi was born in Lugano, Switzerland in 1978. Italian speaking, Zurich based and possessing a graphic arts major from CSIA, Natalia worked in a number of marketing and graphic design studios before joining TBPX Brand strategies in 2003. In 2004 she was awarded first prize at the Salomon artwork contest from more than 2000 design contestants.
She has produced logos and graphics for snowboarding and skateboarding firms, designed numerous t-shirts and bags, illustrated for herself and her growing audience and, on top of all this, expanded her career to include time for creating freelance designer toys.
The Grüslis are these latest creations and Natalia has given birth to over 600 plush dolls since beginning the 4-year long project. They have been adopted by people all over the world with the ultimate aim of creating an international family without boarders or religion.
She's also a sucker for dinner parties and dreams of Antarctica.
