Giampaolo Allocco

"Delineo" derives from the Latin and it means "he who draws." Delineodesign is the pseudonym with which I sign my projects. My name is Giampaolo Allocco and I grew up in Italy between Turin and Treviso. I have assimilated experience of product development, of engineering, of marketing and of strategy consulting.  For some years I have realized projects in Italy and to the foreign countries as freelances in the sectors of the snowboarding, formula one, ski boots, bike and complemented by getting innumerable recognitions.

 Today I am placed side by side from a creative team and of great personality that they works in synergy with clients around the same objective. I desire that the result of every project to be recognizable and essential as the gesture of the hand. I follow the thread usual conductor, I submit me to the search and I look for the same emotions that have driven me to today.
