Build a brand
that people crave.
With over 20 years of experience, we are a NY-based creative studio with expertise in the world of food & drink.
We uncover your unique kernel of truth and use it as a seed to cultivate a brand story as memorable as a good meal. With a healthy allergy to trends, we design visual systems with substance. We call them Unboring Brands.
The Muccans
In a world where food is culture, we enrich the flavor of each project with the worldly perspective of a team that has roots extending from Italy to South America to the Antipodes.
Matteo
Bologna
Matteo is the founder and creative director of Mucca. His multidisciplinary background in architecture, graphic design, illustration, and typography facilitated his early business successes and inspired his decision to create a New York branding and design agency. Under his lead, Mucca has solved numerous design challenges and created uniquely successful work for global companies like Sephora, Shinsegae, Whole Foods, Victoria’s Secret, Barnes & Noble, Rizzoli, Adobe Systems, and Target.
Matteo is also president emeritus of the Type Directors Club and former board member of AIGA/NY. He frequently lectures about branding and typography around the world.
Andrea
Brown
Andrea has a passion for shaping compelling brand personalities through original thinking and attention to craft. A key member of the Mucca team since its inception, she leads a wide range of projects, working with designers, typographers, photographers and copywriters to push creative boundaries and communicate brand stories with clarity and wit. Some of her clients include SSG Food Market, Whole Foods Market, Brooklyn Fare, Domaine de Canton, and Sant Ambroeus. She attributes her love of Scandinavian design to her distant Finnish heritage, and although she enjoys ironic humor, she still doesn’t know how to wink.
María
Silva Mora
Maria’s passion is discovering the compelling kernel of truth at the root of each brand, and using it to create a unique story. In addition to being a strategist, she is an award-winning designer, with recognition from CommArts, TDC, LAD, and BID, and a master’s degree in brand strategy from the School of Visual Arts. She blames her German schooling for her severe OCD and orderly desk. Some of her recent clients include Union Square Hospitality, WeWork, 7Fresh, and Ficosota. As our Colombian import, she is the ambassador of good vibes and arepas.
Sean
O’Connor
Sean is a designer and typographer who combines an obsession with the minutia of letterforms with a big-picture approach to brand design. He’s happiest when using both his brain and his hands to create good work for good people. He has an affinity for dogs, Mexican food and snowboarding, but has not yet found a way to enjoy them all at once.
Yoon
Choi
Yoon is a multi-tasking taskmaster with experience in branding, strategy development, marketing, photography, videography, advertising and pre/post production. A project manager who’s generous with clients and demanding with designers, he strikes a delicate balance between advocate and whip-cracker.
He has given up drumming to become a cat owner, making him much more popular with his neighbors.
