    uniE621 Logo Identity — Poet, author, educator
    A distinctive logo identity for a writer and teacher, rooted in his own creative process. The concept was inspired by a piece of wall graffiti the client had drawn while developing a character for a fictional book — raw, expressive, and entirely personal. Taking the original graffiti artwork as the starting point, I reimagined it as a professional vector-based logo in Adobe Illustrator — preserving the hand-drawn energy and instinctive quality of the original while making it versatile and scalable across all media. The finished logo was then extended into a basic website, bringing the identity to life online and giving the client a professional platform to present his work as a writer and educator. The logo is deployed consistently across his website, digital platforms, and printed publications — a meaningful visual signature that reflects the spirit of his practice.

    uniE621 Cima Rosa — Brand Development & Illustration, Venice
    Cima Rosa is a luxury boutique bed and breakfast housed in a restored 15th-century palazzo on Venice's Grand Canal. The project focused on developing and refreshing the property's existing brand identity — introducing bespoke illustrations, fresh marketing graphics, and a seasonal colour strategy to bring greater depth and distinction to its visual language. Working from the architectural details, sculptural elements, and wall frescoes of the palazzo, I created a series of elegant custom illustrations for use across stationery and brand materials. A seasonal colour palette was developed across two colourways — Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer — giving the brand a living, layered quality throughout the year. A postcard line was conceived and designed alongside additional marketing graphics for both print and digital platforms, incorporating original photography of the property and its surroundings.

    uniE621 Artist Brand Identity & Creative Direction
    A comprehensive brand identity and creative direction project for an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in Tuscany, developed through the Lambert Phillips Foundation. The project began with the creation of a distinctive logo — a fluid, hand-drawn illustration derived from the artist's own sculptural work, redrawn in Adobe Illustrator to function across all media as both a logo and an embossed watermark. A full visual identity was developed around this mark, including a curated colour palette, custom typography, business cards, and promotional postcards in four selected colourways. The scope extended beyond design into full creative and strategic support — encompassing website concept and development, artist biography and storytelling, photography of the artist and her work, exhibition planning, press outreach, and sales facilitation. The result is a cohesive, considered identity that reflects the raw, instinctive quality of the artist's practice while positioning her professionally within the contemporary art world.

    uniE621 Private client personal logo & custom stamp
    A bespoke personal brand identity commissioned by a professional Italian businessman, centred on the creation of a distinctive heraldic emblem for use across all personal and professional communications. The design was inspired by the iconography of Saint George and the Dragon — drawing on medieval armour, classical bas-relief imagery, and the symbolism of the heroic journey. Research into historical heraldic seals and Renaissance relief sculpture informed the final composition: a dragon motif integrated within a double circular frame, the diagonal composition giving the mark both movement and authority. The emblem was developed in Adobe Illustrator with deliberate attention to the organic irregularities of historical ink stamps — preserving the character and texture of a hand-produced mark rather than creating a sterile digital logo. From the final vector, both a custom ink stamp and an embossing tool were produced, allowing the mark to be applied to letterheads, stationery, envelopes, certificates, and packaging. The result is a refined, timeless personal seal — a quiet but powerful signature that communicates heritage, integrity, and distinction across all materials.

    uniE621 Palazzo Duodo — Brand Development & Brochure Design, Venice
    Palazzo Duodo is a 15th-century palazzo on Venice's Grand Canal, reimagined as an exclusive venue for private dinners and special events. The project required a complete brand identity and a bespoke brochure to introduce the palazzo to a high-end international clientele and event planners. The brand was developed to honour the grandeur and historical significance of the building — drawing the colour palette directly from the textures and tones of the palazzo's own stone and architecture, and deriving the logo from its distinctive architectural facade. Every design decision was rooted in the character of the space itself rather than imposed from outside. A detailed, image-rich brochure was produced combining custom graphics, refined layout design, and original photography — bringing the atmosphere and offering of the palazzo to life on the page. The result communicates both the historical weight and the contemporary elegance of Palazzo Duodo as an event destination.

    paper Visual Brand Identity — Villa La Posta, Monteriggioni

    A full brand creation project for a luxury hospitality destination and private members club in the historic Tuscan town of Monteriggioni.
    I developed the complete visual identity from concept through to delivery — including logo design, custom typography, colour palette, and a full suite of print and digital assets. The branding was inspired by the architecture and cultural heritage of the villa, designed to convey timeless luxury and understated sophistication.
    The final brand identity spans the villa’s website, stationery, membership materials, and promotional content — creating a seamless and cohesive visual language across all platforms.
