Marina+Mariano

I design to connect with the world.
And leave it a little better than I found it.


Work

Frontiers is an academic publisher dedicated to empowering society. My in-house contribution involved art directing campaigns and implementing technology in processes to embody the values of quality, innovation, and collaboration.

+ Milo Merah

The identity and album covers I have crafted for Milo Merah, an emerging UK singer, focus on the exploration of human emotions and the search for truths about life and love that often go unnoticed. These are also the themes he sings about.

+ Escursì

In refreshing the identity of a Sardinian travel experiences agency, playful and colorful elements inspired by Sardinia’s culinary traditions bring to life a brand focused on adventure and culture.

+ aquí

In our expanding capitalist society, self-expression often occurs through consumption. Recognizing that experiences forge emotional connections, we established aquí, a DIY furniture workshop, along with its visual identity.
