Little Niko Pizzeria Moodboard: A Slice of Dolce Vita
Tasked with conceptualizing the branding for Little Niko Pizzeria, I aimed to create a vibrant fusion of Italian charm and laid-back beach vibes, capturing the essence of "la dolce vita." This moodboard brings together playful elements like retro-style illustrations, whimsical typography, and a color palette reminiscent of a sun-soaked day on the Italian Riviera. The combination of rich greens, warm yellows, and soft corals evokes a sense of freshness and nostalgia, while images of pizza, cocktails, and cozy outdoor settings transport you to a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. This design direction sets the stage for a pizzeria that's as much about savoring the moment as it is about enjoying delicious, authentic food.

The Vulnerables: A Novel written by Whitney Nathan
Cover Design by Whitney Nathan
In "The Vulnerables," the line between wellness and manipulation blurs within the walls of Velveare, a wellness organization founded on the Norwegian concept of wellbeing. Run by the charismatic influencer Dandelion, Velveare promises its followers a path to inner peace and fulfillment. But behind the idyllic facade lies a darker truth: Velveare is a cult designed to drain its members of their money, exploiting their vulnerabilities in the name of self-improvement.
The story centers on Celeste, a woman with low self-esteem and a deep desire to belong. Drawn to Velveare by the promise of transformation, Celeste is willing to do whatever it takes to earn her place in Dandelion’s inner circle. As she becomes more deeply entangled in the organization, Celeste begins to uncover the unsettling reality behind the feel-good messaging.
"The Vulnerables" is a gripping exploration of the lengths to which people will go to find acceptance, and the dangers of losing oneself in the pursuit of belonging. In this thought-provoking novel, readers are invited to question the true cost of wellness in an age of social media and influencer culture.
