Projects
- Values WorkbookThe Potential we saw: This workbook was created by an award-winning coach to help driven people re-establish their inner priorities. For the design, it meant that the book needed a strong grid structure with illustrated references to the emotional world. The difference we made: Bold colours and free-to-interpret illustrations were a perfect match for the self-affirmation purpose of this book. To make readers feel more relaxed yet confident, we chose a journal-style layout with a classy twist.
- A book that won't change your lifeA Book that won’t change your life is a collection of sentences, gestures and situations present in everyday Italian life, depicted through the juxtaposition of pictures and bold illustrations. I wrote, designed, illustrated and then hand- bound the book with an artisan bookbinder in Venice as it has been my first personal project.
- Such is ArtThe publication aims to guide the reader through the often confusing topic of modern and contemporary art by interactively engaging with them. The goal is achieved thanks to the inclusion of creative methods of knowledge-building that encourage the audience to take sides and form their own opinions. Such is Art with its structure breaks that formality that often surrounds art-related matters, allowing the reader to loosen up and interact with the content.

- I'm glad I askedThe Potential we saw: These books are a means to share a special moment with your parents while starting a tangible record of their lives. The publication needed a familiar feel that could appeal to both children and adults. The difference we made: In this self-published series, we employed a design that sits in between that of a diary and that of a gift book. Creating straightforward illustrations, we made the book’s intentions clear from the start, and a modern palette made it even more fun.5
- My First Words in Yoruba & English - bilingual board bookThe Potential we saw: With more than 100 words, this bilingual book is a wonderful introduction to Yoruba for children. For us, it was a rewarding experiment on the universal power of colours and design. The difference we made: The carefully selected photographs made the book more realistic for kids to understand the words and learn Yoruba easily, while bright colours and scattered doodles made it all more exciting.1
- Your guide to COZYThe Potential we saw A book about the concept of Hygge and relaxation was a great chance to bring design & illustration under the coziest of spotlights. The difference we made Warm zoomed-in illustrations, calm typefaces and single-block text: the author’s vision became an exercise in space, tenderness and simplicity.2
