"To make life become a piece of art"

When I first saw a MacIntosh in action, back in 1991, I immediately realized that this was what I wanted to dedicate my life to. Graphic Design was to be my life-long friend, my Huckleberry Finn. And this relationship has only become better with time. My passionate role as Art Director is just the natural evolution of this neverending love.


“The life of a designer is a life of fight. Fight against the ugliness. Just like a doctor fights against disease. For us, the visual disease is what we have around, and what we try to do is cure it somehow with design.”

- Massimo Vignelli
