Yass! My latest work (messup.it) is a nominee for the Typography Honors by Awwwards: the award celebrating websites that push the boundaries of creative typography. 

Typing is designing 😄

We just unveiled our latest project: the brand creation for MessUp, a newborn fellow branding agency, unafraid to make mistakes. 

It's been real fun.

I'm thrilled to see my personal website awarded by One Page Love. It's a nicer day now.

“Good design is as little design as possible."

I somehow link this Dieter Rams quote to the quiet luxury trend: the ultimate expression of sobriety, elegance, quality, authenticity, and care.

Which is something a little tricky to convey with branding.

This is the stretchy logo I designed for MessUp: a fellow creative agency unafraid to make mistakes, challenge all industry norms and even common sense. 

And here's the full case study:

Enjoying some UI design today. Any tips on how to improve this?

A random, unused mark I designed that didn't make it into the final presentation

Considering this last-second upgrade proposal to an already approved logo design. As always, I like the newest version (below) much more than I should. 

Any feedback is welcome

WHACK! SLAP! KABOOM!

I had so much fun creating the brand identity and website for Upstairz, a hub for some of the most sought-after luxury assets worldwide. 

This is the logo animation / website loader inspired by the "top floors" concept and the lifestyle enabler positioning of the brand.

"Is this the best of worlds?"

As we try to make sense of so much terrible news, utopias can help us rediscover the ability to dream.

Excerpt from the most recent case study: the brand creation for the fellow creative agency, MessUp.

I have just seen the Rabbit's R1 AI-powered device, designed by teenage engineering (😍).

While my gut says "Order it now!", I have mixed feelings about it. What do you think?

BTW, if Apple wants to maintain its leadership in design, should acquire them.

I asked myself "What inspired you the most during 2023?". The answer is among the links in Sublimio's latest newsletter:

What about you? Let's share some inspiration. ✨

This is the cover image I designed for my latest article on Sublimio blog, comparing branding and marketing agencies. 

Despite the typical hurry related to self-initiated activities, I quite like it. 

Any improvement suggestion?

I was like: 
"ok, just one more and I'll go back to working".
