Amira El-Sayed
Born in Alexandria in 1991, Amira El-Sayed grew up surrounded by the soft colors of the Mediterranean coast and the sounds of her mother’s sewing machine. That quiet rhythm became her first lesson in composition. After finishing high school, she moved to Cairo to study Fine Arts, where she fell in love with the dialogue between traditional Egyptian ornament and contemporary graphic design. A few years later, her curiosity led her to Milan, where she earned a master’s degree in Visual Communication and began experimenting with digital illustration and mixed media. Her work soon found its way into small cultural journals and design collectives across Europe. Known for her calm, layered style, Amira’s illustrations often explore silence, memory, and urban loneliness. Now based between Lisbon and Florence, she continues to work as an independent designer, creating brand visuals, editorial layouts, and limited-edition art prints. she remains more interested in quiet projects that connect people through texture and emotion rather than fame.
Marta Rivera
Born in southern Spain in 1991, Marta grew up sketching shop signs and market stalls while summers smelled of citrus and dust. She left home to study visual arts at a small coastal college and later pursued cross-disciplinary workshops across Europe, always chasing vernacular type and hand-painted signage as a kind of living archive. Her early career threaded between short residencies and freelance projects — designing identities for independent cultural spaces, producing limited-run zines, and teaching weekend workshops on hand-lettering. Today, she divides her time between commissioned branding for artisan makers and personal print projects; a quiet series of hand-printed posters about neighborhood markets earned her a small regional mention in 2023, but she prefers slow work that looks and feels local rather than loud recognition
Mariana Alves
Born in 1994 in a mid-sized Brazilian city, Mariana was raised among street murals and family-made banners, learning early how color and scale changed a message. She studied fine arts with a focus on image-making and later participated in short-term design labs overseas, absorbing editorial illustration and poster design methods from different contexts. She works as a freelance illustrator and visual identity consultant for cultural collectives, mixing screen printing with digital collage to make posters and short artist books. Her illustrated booklet about community kitchens was printed in a small batch and exchanged among artist networks—an outcome she values more than public prizes
Ingrid Løkken
Ingrid was born in 1990 in Norway, where long winters made indoor crafts and pattern work a household pastime. She trained in applied arts locally and later took short-term mentorships in textile-print and graphic studios scattered across Northern Europe, always combining pattern thinking with typographic restraint. Her portfolio includes identity work for cultural projects and a steady practice of printed textiles and limited-run posters. A compact series exploring light and memory in northern towns was shown in a seasonal collective showcase and received a small editorial mention; Ingrid treats exhibitions as conversations rather than milestones and keeps tight control over where editions are sold.
Yuki Tanaka
Yuki was born in 1993 on the edge of a port city in Japan, where paper shops and tiny print studios fed a childhood fascination with texture. She took formal training in visual communication at a metropolitan art institute and later traveled for short exchange programs in Europe and Latin America, always returning with new printing techniques tucked into her sketchbook. Her practice blends digital vector systems with tactile processes: rice-paper prints, monotype experiments, and editorial illustration for small presses. She has contributed to collaborative artist books and a multi-artist print fair that circulated in a few independent galleries.
Noah Clarke
Noah came into the world in coastal British Columbia in 1990 and grew up between the forest and the harbor, where early sketchbooks filled with boat forms and signage. He studied graphic and environmental design at regional colleges and later spent time apprenticing in different studio environments, from letterpress shops to small digital studios, accumulating a toolbox rather than accolades. As a visual designer, he focuses on systems for cultural projects and community-run exhibitions, creating modular identities and printed materials that are easy to reproduce by hand. His collaborative poster series for a community arts festival was printed in a low-run edition and circulated locally; he keeps most of his process notes private and prefers to let the work speak through small, well-made runs.
Sofía Morales
Sofía arrived in the world in Mexico City in 1995 and grew up amid colorful market stalls and handmade signage; paper and ink were part of family life. She pursued studies in visual communication at a local arts program and later completed short-term courses abroad, collecting printing and layout techniques she adapted to her visual narratives. Her work sits between editorial illustration and brand identities for independent cultural producers, often produced as artist books and short print runs. A collaborative zine about urban memory circulated through artist spaces and was exchanged at a few pop-up fairs; Sofía views these small circulations as the heart of her practice and keeps public-facing details intentionally minimal.
