Compassion Research Lab

I stumbled upon Luca’s work for the Compassion Research Lab, and was thoroughly impressed by the use of illustrated characters to express their scientific work. I knew that I had found a perfect match for makeadent.org, my nonprofit cardiovascular medicine startup. Suffice it to say that I am beyond happy and impressed. Luca has a keen eye for both design and storytelling, and has done a stellar job in giving makeadent.org its new face/identity. It goes without saying that he’s very hardworking and prompt, and is a treat to work with. Cheers to many more years!

Luca supported the district with promotional materials to assist in a technology launch for our business units. His creativity, attention to detail and his ability to convert our vision into a reality was truly exceptional. Luca was responsive, attentive and timely, and he delivered on a very short timeline a strong promotional toolkit. We are extremely pleased with the final results and look forward to partnering with Luca again in the future.

Luca is not only a super talented designer, but has a rare ability to visually simplify complex topics like quantum computing and make it accessible using a beautiful design language. I would highly recommend Luca for anything from video production, to website content creation, to being a sounding board for all things design!

As a healthcare researcher, Luca was the perfect fit for designing a website that speaks to researchers, healthcare providers and the general public alike. He has a unique mix of creativity and scientific knowledge, combined with a strategic mind and innovative approaches in web design and marketing skills - knowledge that often is embodied in a team of professionals rather than a single individual. Finally, he has an uncanny knack for distilling a customer’s abstract vision and subject matter into tangible reality in a way that is both accurate and aesthetically pleasing.
