moho – Mariana Alfaro and Surya Son
moho is a design studio and a creative network, where we think of design as a living, open and mutant process. We do editorial design, visual identity, illustration, art direction, communication strategies and visual experiences. From our design practice, we investigate new tools to expand creative possibilities, aiming to promote exchanges of knowledge, help to resolve, inspire and communicate projects.
