Visual stories for people and projects that care for the land, their community and the way they work.
Buena Vida Specialty Coffee
Translating regenerative coffee into a visual system rooted in origin, process and purpose.
Buena Vida was founded on a simple belief: exceptional coffee begins with healthy soils and thriving farming communities. We worked alongside the brand so every touchpoint, from packaging to its Amazon store, would tell that story with clarity.
A clean, purposeful system
A minimalist, botanical-inspired packaging system that communicates origin, quality and regenerative impact with clarity and elegance.
Purpose-driven content for a global audience
Visual pieces that carry the story of each coffee, from farm to cup, into an online store that reaches the whole world.
A cohesive story across every touchpoint
A redefined presentation system to communicate Buena Vida's mission, differentiation and impact with visual consistency.
Construction company
A visual identity and digital presence built on clarity and trust.
A Costa Rican construction company working on residential, hospitality and specialized infrastructure projects. Its way of building is straightforward: careful planning, responsible execution and spaces that endure and respect their surroundings.

Clarity builds trust.
It all starts from one idea: clients should always know what is happening. Visible information, direct communication and timely decisions, from the first conversation to the handover.
Colours that come from the site
The company's logo already existed and stayed the same. Our work was to build the system around it, starting with a palette taken from the materials they work with: pine, charcoal, sand, stone and slate.
Lines, frames and modules
Simple elements that organise information and connect content, like the drawings of a build.
Four ideas, four icons
Line icons for what defines the company: design intent, clear communication, controlled execution and responsible construction.
The same clarity, online
In collaboration with Nutropika, the website brings the new visual system to the web and organises projects, services and process with the same logic as the brand.

Tierramor
Documenting life in a regenerative community: its spaces, its gatherings and the people who make it possible.
We created visual content for Tierramor: photography of its workshops, guided walks, shared meals and spaces built with natural materials, so that those who follow them online can feel what is lived on the land.
Basecamp Nursery
A gallery of native plants to grow in Guanacaste.
We photographed the plants at Tierramor's Basecamp nursery to build a gallery of what is available and sell them here, in Nosara. The idea: anyone planting in the area can find their plants nearby, without bringing them from the Central Valley, and they can be delivered within Guanacaste.
Ocean Program 26´
Environmental and marine education, told from the water.
A program where children learn to care for the ocean and their surroundings, and for themselves. Nature is what surrounds us: when it is well, so are we. We followed it with the camera, among tide pools and tides.
Permaculture in Monteverde
Above all: observe.
A permaculture design course in Valle Escondido, led by Porvenir Design. It taught us that the order in which we do things is not always the right one, and that we need to observe nature to reinvent our patterns from there. We photographed the process from start to finish.
What inspires us to tell stories
Photography is our way of paying attention.
It lets us slow down and notice what's easy to overlook: the changing light, textures, the gestures between people, the beauty of a process. We don't look for perfect images, but to preserve stories and moments that deserve to be remembered.
The most meaningful projects bring people together.
Through yoga, community gatherings and sustainability initiatives we learned that presence is one of the most valuable things we can offer. That same mindset guides how we tell stories: observing with patience, listening with empathy and documenting moments as they unfold.
Every journey leaves something behind.
Traveling reminds us that there are many ways of living, creating and understanding our surroundings. More than destinations, we collect perspectives, lessons and stories that keep shaping the way we create.
Architecture and construction
Before GAIA there were builds, designs and structures made by hand, many of them from project management: following each build from start to finish. That is where our way of working comes from: understanding the place before designing and staying with every stage until the end.
La Maloca · Tierramor
We were part of a team of three project managers, making sure the build followed what its designers intended. The design is by Ibuku and the plans were adapted to the tropics by a Costa Rican firm. Many hands took part, and we learned from truly sustainable materials, earth and bamboo. Seeing the structure from start to finish was deeply rewarding.

Nantipa · Farm to Table
A food forest and garden for Hotel Nantipa. The idea was not to cook everything from the garden, but to use ingredients from the place and create a connection with where food comes from.
Seed Bank
A temporary bamboo structure sheltering the container where the seeds are kept, so they can be planted whenever needed. It covers a wide area that works as a workshop and workspace around it.
Turtle Temple
A temporary bamboo space for yoga classes and for bringing the community together in different ceremonies.
Kö Nire: Tierra Viva
Temporary, replicable homes for the Ngäbe-Buglé people who work on coffee farms, designed from their culture and open to cultural tourism.
Funky Finca
Concept design and permaculture masterplan: food forest, natural barriers, trails and spaces to connect with nature and with each other.
Private residences
Following construction from start to finish on different residential projects.
Bahareque course
A bahareque (wattle and daub) course taught by architect Cecilia Coronado during the construction of her home. We photographed those days of building with earth.
