It all began thanks to a course by some former teachers at the Brera Academy that Chiara Vercesi attended as a child. Then came her degree at the IED and experiences in various design fields, from packaging for pizzas to board games, advertising to visual design, and the beginning of collaborations with prominent names such as the WWF, Scientific American, Facebook.

In 2018, Chiara founded the designer collective Sail Ho Studio. Her creative process always starts with a research phase and a sketch or project. She then allows herself to be guided by a lively style, characterized by abundant textures and atmosphere.
