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.

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
Base
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.

Three windows on Sicily
Logos for three nature reserves. First place.
Case study · 06Syracuse · 2023Scroll
Case study · Logo design contest, 1st place
One frame, three views.
The winning entry of “Tre loghi per tre riserve”, a contest by Regione Siciliana for three Oriented Nature Reserves near Syracuse: Vendicari, Cavagrande del Cassibile and Pantalica. Each logo is a framed vignette, like a window on the landscape. They share one frame, one hatched sky, one horizon and one typeface, so the three read as a family and still work in a single colour.
The brief
What was needed
Three reserves with three very different landscapes: a coastal marsh, a river gorge and a valley of rock-cut tombs. Each needed its own logo, and the region needed them to belong together.
The idea
How it was solved
Three windows. The frame, the sky hatching, the horizon and the type never change. Only the view does.
Same window. A different Sicily behind it.
01 · The system
Pick a window.
Vendicari: the duck and the tower of the marsh, where migrating birds stop on the coast.
