I'm Francesco Paolo Incantalupo and my dream is to be a rock star.
I'm currently a visual and graphic designer based in Rome, partner of Intorno Design, promoter of s.w.a.we (Students Workshop Activities WEek).
I was born in 1992 in Puglia and grew up in the province of Bari. I have always been a curious and social person. In my parents office, both accountants, I created my first posters on Windows 95 (all strictly in Comic Sans and WordArt).
At 13 I met my first love: drums. I am a lover of punk, rock and metal music, in 2008 I founded "Vinterblot", the band with which I wrote music and toured Italy and Europe.
I used to draw flyers and consult maps.
When I was 21 I opened my beloved "Werewolf Street Shop", with the intent of creating in my city a hub for all Skate Culture fans.
By that time I was creating social graphics and stickers to spread.
Later I founded with my best friend "Testudo Eventi" with which I organized gigs and festivals with Italian and international bands throughout the province of Bari.
I was in charge of promotion and press.
When I was 26, I finally realized that Graphic Design has always been my path and I decided to start my studies at RUFA - Rome University of Fine Arts.

In the first years of the academy I won an internal competition and made my first exhibition, started a constant collaboration with the studios Intorno Design and Grafò Comunicazione Visiva, and collaborated for two years in a row with the communication office of the academy. In March 2022, in the same day I turned 30, I received my bachelor's degree, discussing the thesis "partire da zero", a social design work that produced research on social graphics and migration flows in Italy, and the rebranding of the CivicoZero Onlus cooperative with which I started a working relationship.
I am convinced that the best project is always the next one, and while waiting to find out where this profession will lead me to, I am aware of the importance of communication and graphic design for the society in which we live.
