Istituto Marangoni Milano • The School of Design is excited to announce an exclusive collaboration with Elena Salmistraro, Product Designer, Artist & I'M Mentor. This partnership aims to discover and support future design talents, offering them a unique opportunity to learn and grow.

Students will get to work closely with their Mentor, who will provide guidance and inspiration, and gain a professional perspective on the field by learning from her years of experience in the industry. 

During the year, the designer will carefully evaluate the selected students' projects and select the most deserving ones to access an additional scholarship for the second and third years of the programme. This is an opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and originality, putting the knowledge acquired during the course into practice.

The mentorship project comes with a scholarship opportunity. To participate, candidates must submit a moodboard inspired by Elena Salmistraro's visual identity, while still showcasing their own personal style. This exercise will demonstrate their ability to connect their ideas with the designer's work, emphasising their creativity and originality.

The application deadline is July 30th. A panel of design experts will review the mood boards and select the most deserving students for the scholarships.
