Branding, Packaging & Digital

For worldwide businesses that make things worth noticing.

A few words about me

I'm Antonio Ciotta, a brand and packaging designer based in Italy. I spend my time closing the gap between how good a product actually is and how good it looks, because that gap is where most good businesses lose.

What you can ask me

Strategy

Before anything gets designed, we establish what the brand is actually for. Market and competitor analysis, positioning, and the narrative that holds it together. I interrogate the brief rather than execute it blindly, because a beautiful identity built on the wrong premise is an expensive mistake that takes years to undo.

Branding

I build visual and verbal systems designed to hold up everywhere they go. Naming, identity, typography, colour, tone of voice and the guidelines that keep it all consistent. The goal isn't a logo you like, it's a system that makes your company recognisable before anyone reads the name.

Packaging

Packaging is where the brand stops being a concept and becomes an object someone picks up. Concept, structure, labels and print ready artwork, with materials, finishes and production constraints considered from the first sketch rather than solved in a panic at the end. Your printer gets files that work.

Website

Brand led sites built in Framer: fast to launch, easy to update, and unmistakably the same brand as everything else you make. Clear structure, honest copy, and a CMS your team can actually manage without breaking the layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you work with?

Small and mid-sized worldwide companies that make something physical like food and drink, spirits, cosmetics, furniture, craft goods. The common thread isn't the category, it's the situation: the product is already good, and the way it looks hasn't caught up yet.

What does working together look like?

Four stages: discovery, strategy, development, delivery. You approve the strategy before any visual work starts, so nothing gets built on a direction you're not behind.

What are your typical timelines?

Identity projects run 2–4 weeks. Packaging and full brand systems, 4–6 weeks. Timelines are agreed before anything starts.

What's the investment for a project?

Projects are quoted per scope, not per hour. Send a short brief or book a call with me and I'll come back with a proposal.

What's actually included?

A defined set of deliverables, two rounds of revisions, and final files ready for print or web. Nothing open-ended.

Do I need a big budget to start?

No. There's an entry-level route for businesses that need a solid starting point, and larger builds for those ready to commit to a full system.
