About
Not just a designer.
I shape how brands look, feel and move. Fifteen years and more than thirty brands, from Sicilian nature reserves to Venetian saffron, from focaccia to real estate.

Eight disciplines. One system.
Every layer is a discipline. Stacked together they make one brand that looks the same on a jar, a shop window and a phone screen.

Layers of Love
Italian comfort food, redesigned for America
Case study · 01Miami · 2026Scroll
Case study · Brand identity, website, art direction
Pasta, but make it culture.
Layers of Love makes small-batch Italian comfort food in Miami: fresh-pasta lasagna, tiramisù, stuffed focaccia and catering. We built the brand as a culture magazine that happens to sell food.
The brief
A food brand ready to sell online.
- 01Redraw the logo as a clean vector, with a palette and brand fonts
- 02Logotype and wordmark for packs, labels and the web
- 03A website on Shopify with separate B2C and B2B price lists
- 04Explain ready-to-heat and frozen products, and why blast chilling matters
- 05Orders and delivery across Miami-Dade, linked to the delivery platforms
The idea
“The Layers Issue.” Every product is a numbered issue, green is the ink, red is the food, yellow tape interrupts.
No luxury, no white-tablecloth cues: the tone is warm, ironic and editorial pop, at accessible prices. The logo already holds the idea of layers: a heart over three waves, like sheets of pasta. The website is built the same way, in stacked sections.
The heart · on top
Top layer
Middle layer

01 · The mark
One heart.
Three layers.
The original logo was redrawn as clean vectors. The heart sits on top, three waves stack underneath like sheets of pasta: top, middle and base. It works in full colour, in one colour and in white, from a favicon to a delivery bag.
02 · Ink
Printed
in green.
Every page follows the same proportions: white paper about half, green ink a quarter, red around fifteen percent, a touch of yellow tape and almost no blue. Hover or tap a colour to see where it goes.

Since 1870, one pin away
A website for the Café Barbera coffee houses in the Middle East and North Africa
Case study · 21Middle East & North Africa · 2023Scroll
Case study · web design, UI/UX
Find your nearest Café Barbera.
Café Barbera began in 1870, when Domenico Barbera started roasting coffee in southern Italy with a small handcrafted roaster. Its Italian coffee houses now open across the Middle East and North Africa, and they needed a website for the guest in Dubai, Baghdad or Amman: what to order, where the café is, what is new. Every page keeps a red pin with a coffee bean and one promise: find your nearest Café Barbera. Around it, a menu in twelve categories, the family story told generation by generation, news, delivery and a rewards programme, on desktop and mobile.
The brief
What was needed
A roastery from 1870 with franchise cafés across the Middle East and North Africa needed a website for its guests. It had to answer three questions: what to order, where the café is, what is new.
The idea
How it was solved
A red pin with a coffee bean stays on every page, with a Search button under it, so the nearest café is always one tap away on a map of the region. Around it sit the menu, the family story, news, delivery and rewards, on desktop and mobile.
Since 1870, one pin away.
01 · The pin
One pin away.
Every page keeps the same red pin on the left, with a coffee bean inside and a Search button under it. Wherever the guest is on the site, the nearest café is one tap away, on a map of the cafés across the region. On the phone the pin moves to the top right, next to the logo.
- LocationsA map and a list of the cafés across the region.
- MenuA dark espresso band of twelve categories, from hot coffee to grill.
- StoryA timeline of generations, with photos from the family archive.
