"Graphitons views the design process as a quantum superposition, where every possible solution exists simultaneously until it is observed and collapsed into a single outcome. Using this mindset, Graphitons creates designs that not only look aesthetically pleasing but also have a deeper meaning and purpose."

Words from clients

"Ets el millor fitxatge de la història d'aquest projecte."

Judit Neddermann, about the design of her 5th album 'LAR'.

"Marina is an extraordinary artist with a very valuable ability: she’s ahead of you and makes you discover things about your project that you didn’t even know. She’s got that kind of quantum wisdom. It’s marveling how she detects the essence of projects and how that enables her to communicate them in excellence."

Elena Tarrats, about her personal website & album 'Alexandræ'

"I choose to work with Marina for her creative excellence: an ingenious queen creating forms that elevate contents to other dimensions. Without Marina's work, there are many layers of the content that would not reach you."

Mercedes Boronat, about the design process of her book 'Momento Boom'.

"Her sensitivity matched perfectly with ours, and with our needs. Her work is astonishing and her creativity knows no limit! She created something that surpassed what we were expecting. I'm deeply grateful!"

Marçal Castán, from Psientive.
