Who is behind Gigi Hand Fans?

I really like the stories of artisans, people that when they were young wanted to learn the job of their parents, but also young people that wanted to go to college, and travel.  I like the stories of young people who met other artists, with whom they learned new techniques and new forms of expression, craftsmen who, in addition to learning their craft with their parents, also learned to design and dream.

My story is a bit like this, my father was a carpenter, but I wanted to study History of Art and then Humanities. I fell deeply in love with craftsmanship when I worked as an archaeologist and learned about the importance and transcendence of the products handmade by the human being and it historical value,

When I was no longer able to continue working as an archaeologist, I graduated in illustration.

I have learned a lot from my professors and from my classmates, and from people who are no longer in this world, but who have opted for a skilled craftsmanship, craft works whose knowledge need to be shared and not encrypted or hidden.
