You will find environmental and political topics there as well. While illustration is her primary business, she also works in the fields of graphic design, conception, art direction, hand lettering and creative writing for her little design label and studio „Illubelle“.

Mirko Cresta graduated from the School of Applied Arts in Lugano. He worked for many years in graphic studies and agencies between Milan and Ticino and then settled in Zurich, where he has worked as a graphic designer and art director since 2008. For Mirko, illustration is not a secondary career but a parallel one, given the numerous collaborations and international awards that have punctuated his professional career. He has found over time that his style has been enriched with realistic details and vibrant colors without renouncing cleanliness and compositional synthesis. Irony allows him to deal with sensitive, social, political and topical issues, avoiding being didactic or too empathetic.
“Undelivered” – Honorable Mention

Helping people learn to ‘Be Here Now,’ and consciously practice being fully present, provides their companies and them personally with the greatest opportunities for maximizing effectiveness and life fulfillment.” – Giulio
