Emerge is an Italian food B2B platform that connects national and international buyers with authentic Italian food producers. Emerge goal is to bridge the gap between the high global demand for Italian food products and their limited availability abroad. The platform offers producers a free online showcase to present their products and stories, while buyers can explore a wide range of Italian specialties and contact producers directly. Emerge also provides premium services, including enhanced visibility, participation in business opportunities, and access to exclusive benefits from service provider partners.
Limited edition posters - First & second edition
As a token of appreciation for the food producers who placed their trust in Emerge and its services, I designed two limited-edition posters (50 pieces each), which the company later gifted to its clients at the end of two different years. The design goal was to blend food with iconic city landmarks in unconventional ways, creating unexpected associations that sparked curiosity and storytelling. The first edition focused on Milan, celebrating the city where Emerge was founded. The second edition highlighted New York, marking Emerge’s expansion beyond European borders. Each piece served as both a collectible artwork and a symbol of the platform’s journey, growth, and global reach.

Il Duomone
The Panettone, a yeast-leavened bread traditionally made with raisins and candied fruit peels, is a classic Italian dessert enjoyed during Christmas and New Year's. Originally from Milan, it has become a beloved holiday treat across Italy. For the first-edition poster design, I illustrated this iconic product by integrating it with the monumental facade of the Milan Duomo—transforming a Panettone slice into an extension of the cathedral itself. Inspired by vintage Italian ADs from the ‘30 to the ‘90, which often linked Milan’s signature sweet to its most famous landmark, I reinterpreted these nostalgic influences with a modern approach. Subtle details, such as candied fruit replacing the sculptures on the Dome spires, added a playful touch to the composition.

Hurry up!
For the second edition poster, New York was chosen, with the Statue of Liberty as its iconic landmark. The design reimagines the statue by replacing its torch with an ice cream cone which colors reflects the Italian flag. Gelato, a beloved Italian treat, traces its origins to Sicily in the 17th century, when frozen desserts were first made using snow and ice. The poster reflects the client’s dedication to promoting Italian craftsmanship and their market expansion overseas, showcasing the growing global presence of their brand.

Instagram post planning and conceptualization
The main goal of the Emerge Instagram page was to share engaging content about food and its benefits, showcase products from high-quality Italian food producers actively using the platform, and spark curiosity about their regions. Through captivating illustrations and insightful posts, the aim was to establish Emerge's Instagram presence as a go-to destination for a healthy food-related culture. I curated the page's content by creating the illustrations and designing all the visuals.
