In 2015, she completed an art residency at the Maison des Auters in Angoulême, where she produced her graphic novel Incendi Estivi (Bao Publishing). Some of her previously published comic work includes Milk and Mint, a collection of stories from her blog (PROGLO Edizioni, 2008) and Bacio a cinque, a childhood autobiography (Topipittori, 2011).

Sagramola has illustrated for the New Yorker, New York Times, Vice magazine, Ferragamo, and Rizzoli, among many others.
