Get To Know the team! Q&A with Laia

MY FRIENDS CALL ME: Laia or Lai

AT PDPAOLA I WORK AS: Senior Graphic Designer & Junior Art Director

I LOVE WHAT I DO BECAUSE: It inspires me. I am part of a very fun team and I work as a creative, which is something I am passionate about.

MY WORKWEAR UNIFORM: A puff sleeve blouse, wide vintage sailor-cut jeans, and classic 80s white sneakers.
I love black, plain, neutral colors but, lately, I have started to add more color to my wardrobe with tartan patterns.



MY FAVORITE AUTUMN OUTFIT: A pair of plaid wide trousers, a cozy crossed cardigan, and chunky black boots.

MY FAVORITE DRINK: Chai latte with lots of cardamom

MY MUSE: Weyes Blood & Aldous Harding
I love both their music and creative personas.

WHAT’S ON MY NIGHTSTAND: A cute lamp, a pile of to-be-read books and a scented candle.

MY DREAM JOB WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL: Archeologist!
I have always loved ancient, historical relics. During lockdown, I became obsessed with the buried city of Pompeii and all the unknown art that has been hidden for centuries, so I binge-watched every documentary about it.

A RITUAL I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT: Cuddle with my cat every morning.

MY BEST MOMENT AT WORK: When my team and I come up with great ideas together.
Creativity sparks are great and... The GIF moments!



MY LIFE MOTTO: Learn every day how to be kinder with the world around me: people, animals, and nature.

MY FAVORITE SONG: Levitation by Beach House.

MY FAVORITE BOOKS: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Spring by Ali Smith.
I am passionate about literature and I find reading very soothing.

THE MOST INSPIRING ART PIECE: It’s so hard to choose just one!
I love the work of Hilma af Klint, which is the very first western abstract painter, along with the musings of color and mysticism of Mark Rothko. And on a completely different vibe I am fascinated by the female depictions of Pre-raphaelite brotherhood like the iconic Ophelia by John Everett Millais.
