The Aesop Book
The Aesop book is the single, written source of truth about Aesop, a part historical documentation, part a perspective on the fascinations of the company – the importance of the senses, the art of formulating, the value of good design, intellectual and bodily nourishment, the value and passion with which Aesop operates, internal as well as externally. Published by Rizzoli.
As Art Director, I was responsible for the coordination of photography, identifying appropriate succession of imagery, directing placements, approving material choices and refining color.

‘If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and open sea.’
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
