About me
Ciao, I am a qualified graphic designer, with experience in brand, product and website design. I currently live between Jersey, London and Italy. I love designing brand identities, websites and visual experiences. I began my creative career as an artist, painting large scale artworks influenced by renaissance and baroque art periods. I moved to London, and became involved in the contemporary art world, influencing me to undertake a Masters in Contemporary Art Business at Sotheby's Institute and experience working in a commercial art dealership. I am also a qualified personal trainer and yoga instructor and have a passion for health and well being. I love to work with anyone who is passionate about what they do. I have run my own business in health and wellness and understand the challenges in developing a brand that fully represents the identity and intentions of the business. At the same time I view the world through an artist's lens so I am confident I can bring my artistic skills and creativity to ensure your brand is represented in a beautiful and unique way. Let's work together to enhance what makes your business or project unique and magic. Follow me on cat_riva_ Send me a message catiatuscanyriva@gmail.com

    Holotropic Breathwork : Brand IdentityHolotropic breathwork Jersey is a trademarked practice, used to generate non-ordinary states of conscience for psychological benefits. The word holotropic means moving towards wholeness. There were several characteristics to be reflected in the brand. The process is natural and there is a connection with nature.

How might we address limits of the current paradium? How might we reimagine the future of learning? If i was to change the current learning model i would encourage and support children's imagination, to teach them to think bigger then their textbooks, and to not suppress creativity. Creativity, questioning and believing is what creates change an
  • Yoga Mat Design
    Yoga Mat DesignThis was a bit of a passion project for my own yoga business. I wanted to design and print some fun, bright, arty mats for my clients. I created a different mat for each zodiac sign. Each mat represents a zodiac sign, with their flower type, zodiac symbol and star constellation.
  • 'Unseen'     Art Exhibition of Jacob Holdt at Palazzo Medici Riccardi
    'Unseen' Art Exhibition of Jacob Holdt at Palazzo Medici RiccardiThe brief was to find a space, curate an exhibition around a chosen title and theme. This included selecting and curating artworks and promoting the show with self designed graphics, posters, tickets, invites and online space. I chose the theme 'unseen' to display a series of photographs depicting poverty in USA in the 1970's. The art portrayed the hardship of life in a brutal, raw way. However, beneath the surface they also showed intimacy, community and love. i tried to draw out the contr
  • Tilt
    TiltThe brief was to create a 20x20cm representation of the word 'Tilt'. I explored the idea of the earth’s axial tilt. Due to this tilt the sun shines on different latitudes at different times. This gives us different day and night at the same time. It's also why we have opposite seasons. Both photos were taken between 5pm and 6pm this side of world, and 8 30am the other side. We have sunrise in the snow and sunset in the summer.
