Alice Maison — fabric swatch and label
Nº 01·Brand Identity · Editorial

Alice Maison.

Brand identity and editorial piece for a Madrid-based artisan upholstery atelier making made-to-measure headboards and other pieces.

A full identity system built around a hand-drawn vase isotype, on a palette of bone and olive. The catalog gathers the full collection: six silhouettes, three sizes, the fabric library, the finishes. Designed to be read with calm, in print or on screen.

Maison Manifacier — Jardin Sucré packaging
Nº 02·Cosmetics · Packaging

Maison Manifacier.

Packaging and illustration system for a natural skincare brand rooted in slow, intentional ritual.

The system pairs warm cream boxes with black glass bottles. Each formula gets its own hand-painted bird — one species per product, in watercolor on cream paper. On the glass, the illustration takes centre stage, silkscreen-printed directly onto the dark surface. The ornament is reserved for one element — and it carries the whole system.

Rosette — restaurant merchandise in situ
Nº 03·Hospitality · Apparel & social

Rosette.

Illustration, apparel and social-media visuals for a Parisian gastronomic restaurant.

A hand-drawn vocabulary for the pieces where the restaurant meets its audience directly — staff shirts and totes, and the illustrations the restaurant posts on social — all carried by a single checkerboard field in burgundy and cream.

Pasta Teatro — business cards
Nº 04·Brand Identity

Pasta Teatro.

Brand foundations for a pasta restaurant built on the theatre of dining.

The identity treats the restaurant as a nightly performance — a monogram that reads as a curtain, a typographic system borrowed from playbills and opera programs, a palette of burgundy and cream. Monogram, wordmark and collateral are directed, not decorated.

1080 recetas de cocina — azulejo tile motif
Nº 05·Editorial · Book Design

1080 recetas de cocina.

Editorial redesign of Simone Ortega's canonical Spanish home-cooking book.

An editorial redesign of a title that has lived in Spanish kitchens for half a century — cover, chapter openers and ornament. The brief: honour what readers remember without preserving what has aged.

Besties Forever — pet bandana in use
Nº 06·Brand Identity · Illustration

Besties Forever.

Visual identity for a pet-focused lifestyle brand.

A warm, hand-drawn identity for people who treat their pets as what they are — members of the household. The system centres on an illustration language that draws the owner and the pet as a pair of friends, in flat colour with a confident line.

Les Balades Vertes — brand card mockup
Nº 07·Environmental · Brand Identity

Les Balades Vertes.

A visual system for three urban green spaces in Clichy, a commune on the northern edge of Paris.

Three parks, one commune, one voice. The identity grows out of a simple observation — these green spaces in Clichy share walkers, residents and the same stretch of pavement, but no shared visual language. The system treats the three parks as one family — shared wordmark, shared signage grammar, shared palette across maps, printed guides and panels on site. A quiet case study in environmental graphics.

02 — Letter from the editor

On carrying meaning, and other quiet convictions.

— Alicia Williamsburg, Brooklyn

I came to design through language. For over a decade I worked as a medical and sworn translator, coordinating international patients across three languages — work that teaches you that a message isn't finished when it's spoken, only when it's understood.

To me, design is that same practice carried by other means. A brand is a translation: of its founder's intent, of a product's material truth, of what the person opening the box hopes to feel. My job is to carry all of that from one shore to another without losing it along the way.

I work with hospitality tables, beauty rituals and small lifestyle brands — identities built to last longer than a season, materials and systems that respect the time of the people who use them. Trained in Spain, formed in Paris, now building the next chapter in New York.

If something in these pages speaks to a project of yours, there is a kettle on and a door that opens.
