Solo luxury editorial and stationery design practice working across hospitality, events, lifestyle, and cultural spaces.
I’m Elisa Braga, and Paper Theory is my solo luxury editorial and stationery design practice, working across hospitality, events, lifestyle, and cultural spaces. Rooted in my background in Visual Communications, I approach design through intentional storytelling, typography, materiality, and experience, translating narratives into visual outcomes.
Approach & Mission
I create refined editorial design outcomes for weddings, celebrations, hospitality, and lifestyle spaces. My work is guided by thoughtful composition, intentional craft, and effective storytelling. Inspired by clarity, restraint, and atmosphere, I approach each project with a strong editorial sensibility, carefully considering typography, pacing, materiality, and print finishes to shape how a visual piece is experienced.
In my practice, every detail carries meaning: craftsmanship, from paper selection to production techniques; storytelling, translating emotion and narrative into visual form; and human connection, creating digital and printed experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and enduring.
Values
At Paper Theory, whenever possible, I prioritize sustainability by selecting FSC-certified papers, ensuring every sheet is responsibly sourced without compromising on quality. Each material is chosen with care, honoring its integrity and the sensory experience it brings. I aim to collaborate with suppliers, printers, and production partners who share similar values around craftsmanship, integrity, and ethical working conditions.

Designed for a private 30th birthday dinner in Paris, this suite draws from the atmosphere of the Four Seasons George V, rich burgundy tones, and the elegance of an intimate evening celebration. The suite includes invitations, menus, place cards, and envelopes.
