🔹 Hey! I’m Paula, Founder and Creative Director of Studio Zak, an international design studio with offices in Rome and São Paulo.

I help food, beverage, wine & spirits, cosmetics, and private-label brands tell their stories through distinctive branding and packaging that stand out on the shelf and connect with people on an emotional level.

At Studio Zak, storytelling is at the heart of everything we design. Each project blends Brazilian flair — full of color, warmth, and creativity — with Italian finesse — precision, elegance, and timelessness. This combination gives our work a signature balance of emotion and refinement that resonates globally.

With 18+ years of experience and projects spanning 20+ countries, I guide clients through every stage of the design process — from strategy and concept development to dielines, materials, and print production — ensuring every detail is crafted with care and purpose.
