Let’s start with your name. Easy, right?
Eleonora Anzini (yes, that was indeed easy).
Tell us which of your professional talents helped you the most in organizing this WCTRN.
An obsession with visual order and a proactive vision, maybe more a professional deformation than a talent 😅 It helps me turn a generic idea into something that needs to be seen, whether in the real world or in the digital one. It’s a mix of experience and intuition that lets you understand what works and what doesn’t.
At this point, tell us what you do for a living. What’s your work about?
I’m a brand and web designer. I design visual identities and WordPress websites. I work on the strategic side, on form, and on everything that allows an identity to “breathe”: coherence, rhythm, communicative clarity. The goal is to reach that point where a project stops being confusing and becomes recognizable.
What was the most unexpected skill you used while organizing WCTRN?
The ability to give shape to something that isn’t fully defined yet. It’s a key part of my work as a brand designer, and surprisingly useful here too.
What’s one thing people don’t realize about the work your team does behind the scenes?
That design doesn’t come “at the end”: it’s an important part of the engine. All the elements that make an event readable, from signage, slides, visuals, badges, web, social, to the simplest “atmosphere”, are born from design. And behind every element there’s a constant dialogue between ideas, practical constraints, and coherence.

To wrap it up with:
(it doesn’t exactly go like this, but the enthusiasm is there! and when it comes to GIFs I always get a bit carried away 😅)
If WCTRN were a music festival, what would be your team’s soundtrack?
Too difficult for me, there would be too many! But off the top of my head, with the sun coming through the window, I’d say Four Simple Words by Frank Turner, so we can jump around a bit, since we designers spend way too much time sitting at the computer (and then, you know, the back pain…).
And after all, we too (even if we complain sometimes) are always “Hungry just to do it all again the next day!”
In the spirit of open source collaboration, what’s the most important lesson WCTO taught you about teamwork?
That sharing the process doesn’t slow things down. When everyone can see what you’re doing and contribute with their experience, the project grows better and faster. Open source isn’t just a technical model, it’s a way of being in things.
Convince someone, in 10 words or less, to attend the next WordCamp.
It can be addictive.
