ABOUT US

 is an edible root vegetable

 and also a lovely design project 

by Giulia and Federica.

We would like to create a collection

of illustrated recipes and traditional food

from our beautiful country. 

 
 

I was born in 1985 in Foligno, near Perugia, Italy.
I started doodling/scribbling when I was about 3 years old 

 but when the time came to think about university 

I opted for Architecture. 

It probably wasn't the wisest choice though - 

after completing my BA I dropped it to go back to the good old scribbling block and pencil.

To be honest with you, saying bye to designing eco-friendly skyscrapers was probably the best thing I’ve ever done. 

Or perhaps the best thing I have ever done was enrolling at 

the International School of Comics in Rome, where,

 as well as developing my sense of humour, I learnt that scribbling and doodling can pay the bills too!

It’s been two years now since I left Rome and I haven’t given up on being a professional illustrator just yet – actually the idea becomes 

 more and more appealing every day.

 

I was born in a little town in the Murgia region of Apulia, Italy.
 I have always loved anything related to drawing, graphics and animation in general. I have been trying to turn this passion 

into a real job for a while now, maybe I haven’t succeeded yet 

but I am definitely getting there.

The best day of my life was when I dropped out of Architecture school and started a new life as illustrator and freelancer graphic designer - my artistic world was opened up.

I would love to fund my own design and graphics studio and also work with animation and handcrafted printing. 

I wouldn’t mind travelling a bit though and maybe who knows, grow my own organic vegetables in my back garden.

What I cannot live without: graphic tablet, my son Mac, Wi-Fi 
and bananas.
