We are figuro, a collective of specialists from the US, the Netherlands, and Italy.
While the majority of our projects are handled start to finish by our team, we sometimes take on projects that are highly complex or that have specific needs such as photography and video production. In these cases we work together with other studios and agencies.
But every project that comes across our desk, whatever diverse needs it may have, is overseen by Gianluca Ariello, figuro’s creative director and strategist.
