Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Design director.
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, Domain 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.
Strategist, designer
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.
Designer
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.
Designer
Chris Caldwell
Chris’s many design talents include branding, packaging, motion design, photography and apparel graphics. A native of Boston, he’s well on his way to becoming a New Yorker, discovering the local design scene while skateboarding through the mean streets of Brooklyn.
Project manager
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.
