I’m Elisabetta Rizzato, an Italian architect and Trend Strategist, and the founder of TRENDBARK. Based in Treviso and working globally, I’ve built an international community since launching my design blog in 2013.
Through TRENDBARK, I combine forecasting, education, and practical tools to help designers and companies navigate the future with clarity. My approach blends cultural foresight, design research, and color-driven strategy, turning early signals into meaningful, actionable direction.
I travel to major design fairs to research material, color, and aesthetic shifts, which feed into the publications, reports, and workshops I create. I teach professionals how to apply trend intelligence in a clear, intuitive, and accessible way.
My work sits at the intersection of color, materials, interiors, and futures thinking, and has been featured internationally through collaborations with brands, institutions, and creative studios. I continue exploring how color and culture shape the way we live, supporting the next generation of creatives with tools, insight, and an optimistic lens on the future.
