My heart dog, Brando, who we lost to cancer almost five years ago. That memory inspired me to create a quick two-screen prototype in Figma for a dog food app I called “Brando.” The idea is simple: Premium, clean dog food without all the fillers that many brands sneak in. It’s just a rough prototype for now, but I may expand it into more screens or even a website mockup.

A small tribute to Brando, and a reminder that some of the best creative sparks come from personal stories.

I’ve been exploring AI in product and packaging design, using it for realistic mockups, background variations, and faster concept visualization. It’s boosted efficiency and client presentations, but I’m curious about the long-term impact. How are other designers using AI in their workflow? Do clients value AI-assisted design as much as traditional methods? Any advice on balancing creativity with AI automation? Would love to hear your insights!

🌿 Shaping places, starting from their roots 🌿
For the branding project of Dimora del Cappero, a cozy B&B nestled in the Salento countryside, the client’s brief was clear but challenging: to combine two strongly identity-based symbols, the capers plant and the majestic oak tree that, with its grandeur, protects and shades the house, becoming an emotional landmark for both those who live there and those who stay.
