  • Un altro mondo Un altro Mondo

    Brand image, illustration, collateral material and title design for the documentary film "Un altro Mondo" (Another World) by roman director Thomas Torelli. This documentary explores the ideas that for thousands of years, ancient peoples lived in perfect harmony with Earth and the Universe, that we exterminated these cultures in the name of civilization and progress, and that today, our science could be rediscovering their ancient knowledge, giving us the hope that our thoughts can change the world. Another world is possible, and it's all in our hands: the past, the present and the future...
    "Un altro Mondo" is a work in progress, release date 2013.

  • Wedding Invitation Wedding invitation

    My boyfriend Thomas asked me to marry him... for the third time... and I jumped at the joy of designing our wedding invitation. My idea was to blend something classy with a traditional Mexican feel, a funny representation of our little family and the Italian saying of "Non c'è due senza tre" (meaning Good things always come in three's). I asked my super talented sister-in-law to help me with our illustration... and voilà, this is the great outcome. I can say everyone loved them :-)

    Our square invitations are letterpress printed by hand in Mexico, on soft-white 100% cotton stock in black ink with bright red details.
