I briefed Luigi to craft a new look and feel for our agency, deeply rooted in the principles of utopianism and socialism. He designed a custom logo, developed our website, and more. What sets Luigi apart is his ability to approach the design process with deep thought and adaptability. He is receptive to feedback, skillfully balancing creative negotiation while staying true to the core principles of design.
