The Crew

The Founders

Emily

CEO
Director of Logistics

I've worked for many years as a papercrafter designer, craft teacher and shop assistant for DIY stores. In 2017 I put to good use these experiences when we launched Ciao Bella, but I had no idea what was in store. For sure I didn't expect to be getting such a quick positive response from the public. Working together is an amazing journey that I feel grateful to be part of.

Luana

Director of Design
Chief Graphic Designer

My background includes graphic designer position for companies in advertising, marketing, art & craft industry. When I decided to jump into Ciao Bella, I haven’t looked back and what a life-changing experience this has been! Now I spend my days working with talented artists, I love working with creative people, not to mention how much I like my art director and co-workers.

Lydia

Managing Director
Art Director

For more than 25 years I've been in business, identifying the most promising brands for successful investment, and I was IT service manager for e-commerce platforms. Creating a new brand from scratch, modern and innovative, in a highly competitive industry where few big companies rule over the market, it seemed an impossible mission. But I like challenges so... let's do it!

Pierpaolo

"I'm a multi-purpose artist. I specialize in the artistic processing of wood, ceramics, iron, stone, and in airbrushing, especially for motorcycle helmets. From here the step to became a professional tattoo artist was short. As illustrator, improving the use of Photoshop, over the years I turned to be a digital artist, creating a large number of artistic illustrations in the advertising industy, up to the meeting with Ciao Bella in 2019, starting a partnership I'm very proud of."

“Hi, I'm from the UK. I live in a lovely little town in Norfolk, right near the coast with my husband and 3 children. I have been a papercraft addict since 2008 when I started out making cards which I still love but my passion now is to make off the page projects. Anything that's a little bit different.”

Yova
