In June 2017 she relised her first book ‘A Student Handbook of Italian – Learning Italian through Design’ : a handbook with very concise explanations organised in a way to learn Italin by means of design, explaning the use of the language through graphics in a very visual way. She created a small slice of Italy contaning all the creativity of this country. In 2 month the second volume is coming out.
In January 2018 she relised her second book ‘ Travelling between fables’: it looks a fairytales book but if you go deep into it you will notice that it is a journey into the philosophy of India and Tibet explained in a very simple way and with a very pleasant and sweet way of writing.
