Gold Mask — Cultural Editorial. A cultural fashion editorial, styled and art-directed end to end. A gold coin veil and embroidered abaya set against warm desert stone — built on one idea: opulence framed by restraint. I directed the concept, styling, location and light on set, then colour-graded the images to hold the gold against the sandstone. Art direction, model direction and photography by me.

Momoyogusa SS27: A 1909 Pattern Book Art-Directs a 2027 Capsule
In 1909, Kyoto designer Kamisaka Sekka published Momoyogusa ("A World of Things"), three volumes of woodblock-printed patterns so flat and graphic they still look modern a century later.
I trained a Recraft V4 Style on eight plates from the Cleveland Museum of Art's public-domain copy, keeping Sekka's flat colour fields, metallic accents and empty paper grounds.
Then I handed him a 2027 brief: a streetwear capsule. His winter river became a quilted puffer, his cranes climbed onto chunky trainers, his peonies bloomed on headphones, and his dancers came back in matching tracksuits.

Good morning! It always is when it comes to designing ✨stationery✨.
My love for printed objects and, more generally, for editorial design finds peace in designing grids and layouts.
The set I designed for FT Studio, Interior Design Studio by Federica Tomasello, features a 6x9 grid and a pattern, both following the proportions of the logo.
Space, in this case the space of the page, is once again the protagonist of this brand identity.
If you'd like to read the full case study, you can find it at the link: Enjoy it!
Hope you like it!😊

Great work!
Our studio site is now a free Framer template 🔥
For almost two years this site was home for Heat Bureau. Clients found us through it and we shipped some of our best work from it.
We’re cooking something new for 2027, so it’s time to let this one go. Instead of archiving it, we cleaned it up and made it free for everyone.
Bonus: our FLORA techniques. We generated every placeholder image in this template with two FLORA techniques of our own. They’re yours too:
• Late-90s Editorial
• Crimson Editorial
Write two short lines, what the images are for and how they should feel, and you get a five-frame editorial story. The template has a guide page with 10 ready-to-copy prompts.
Grab it, make it yours, and tag us when you ship something. We’d love to see it:

That crimson editorial look is so good.
