About

Hi, I’m Alessia.

I’m a graphic and surface pattern designer based in Rome, where I spend my days drawing worlds that sit somewhere between nature, storytelling, and meticulous research. Sometimes those worlds become textiles, sometimes books, sometimes objects, and lately they’ve been making their way into film.

What I enjoy most isn’t decorating things—it’s building visual identities that feel as if they’ve existed long before the audience discovers them. Whether it’s a fictional country, a century-old archive, or a single prop sitting unnoticed in the corner of a scene, I love creating details that quietly tell stories.

My work mixes digital design with very analogue habits. I’ll happily spend hours in Illustrator, then immediately switch to cutting paper, sewing fabric, crocheting, painting, or experimenting with print techniques if that’s what the project needs. If there’s an excuse to learn a new craft, I’ll probably take it.

Recently I’ve been expanding my practice into the film industry, studying prop and graphic design with Annie Atkins and exploring how graphics can become part of world-building rather than just decoration. The most exciting projects, to me, are the ones where every label, ticket, map, book cover, pattern, or piece of ephemera helps make a fictional world feel believable.

Outside the studio you’ll probably find me wandering through museums, antique markets, botanical gardens, or bookstores, collecting references I’ll pretend I definitely needed for work.

I believe good design rewards curiosity. The longer you look, the more there is to discover.
