Ciao.

Sono Tarah, planner, designer and creative director of Che Figata.

For the past fifteen years, I’ve worked in marketing, design, and brand direction, helping people and places tell stories that feel alive. My work bridges Italy and the Carolinas, blending dolce vita sensibility with intentional design and calm strategy.

I started Che Figata to create experiences that move people. Weddings that feel cinematic, interiors that feel soulful, and brands that feel human. With a background in graphic design, interior styling, and luxury event direction, I approach every project like a visual language: color, texture, emotion, and space working together in harmony.

Benvenuti, let’s make something unforgettable.

WE LOVE DESIGNING

Weddings with a cinematic feel & modern editorial touches
