Fiorella Granda.

Fiorella Granda, known as Fiorella Doodles, is an illustrator, graphic designer, and content creator whose work brings together sport and design. She played basketball and studied architecture at the University of Toronto before building a freelance creative practice.

After entering full-time work, she missed the creative freedom and connection to sport she had enjoyed at university. Drawing became a way to bring those interests together. Her architecture background also proved useful beyond the page, helping her think through the measurements and physical conditions of a basketball court design.

On Cosmic Sans, Fiorella talks about developing a consistent visual language without deciding too early what kind of work she is allowed to pursue. She sees her interests as room for expansion, including the overlap between sports and beauty, rather than a fixed boundary around her career.
