Design
Overseeing projects from concept to production is among my most gratifying endeavours. My practice has been built around this premise. I'm available for hire on a per-project or hourly basis, from art direction and design, to project development and consultancy.
My studio is open for color printing at accessible costs and in short runs. The core of my practice is book printing and editorial design. Most printed matter can be produced in my studio, from fine art archival prints and large format posters, to booklets and calendars.

I've spent most of my life working as a self-taught graphic designer & printer. At the turn of the century, digital media and motion graphics caught my interest, expanding my knowledge into different areas and strengthening my enthusiasm for the same creative process I continue to thrive on.
I worked as a designer, multimedia developer and art director for Disjecta, OCAC, BBH, Nickelodeon, Wieden + Kennedy, Grey and MVNP Hawaii among others, handling print, video and interactive projects for clients like NYC, Levi's, Johnnie Walker, ESPN & HBO.
I founded Unwork, Inc. in 2001 as a vehicle to consolidate and promote these activities, and as an experiment in balancing creative interests, artistic ambitions and decentralized individual philosophies, within a system of commerce that rarely favors such endeavors. Since 2019 all my activities are run under Spina/Novoa studio.
