Giovanna Ricci Studio aims to capture and express
the joy of the ordinary.
It’s so easy to take such small, fleeting moments, habits, and observations for granted, when the subtle changes in our day is what makes each one different from the next.
Illustrating these mini miracles and applying them to everyday spaces and the things we use daily encourages a playful interaction with the world around us.

Giovanna Ricci is an illustrator born and bred in New York, and it remains a consistent source of her inspiration and subject matter. The practice of travelling with a small notebook serves to document the spontaneous beauty that makes the city so alive.
Much of her work as a textile artist comes from sketches born out of the act of play, which later gets translated into design and product. Whether it’s a decorative element in the home or an accessory to wear, she aims to make everyday spaces a little brighter with illustrations made to make you smile.
