“Luca has helped us with one of our main Energy & Commodities clients on different projects. He did a terrific job in bringing UX expertise to the teams he was working with, constantly receiving positive feedback from the client. He was a safe pair of hands and one of the highest performing designers I’ve worked with. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him for any project. Luca is awesome!”
- Parry Ruparelia
Group Director Experience Design & Strategy at Sapient (London Canary Wharf - August 2018).

“Luca was a tremendous help and a best person we could actually get for our Eikon Office project. He single handedly redesigned very problematic and complex user interfaces our users and developers struggled with. He based his designs on a thorough user research where he identified and approached all the right people to validate his findings and ideas with. He was very precise, thorough, responsible and hard working through the whole process and his great knowledge and experience allowed us to completely rely on his abilities. 
He’s very approachable, pleasure to work with, very focused and always perfectly knows his subject. It was a big win to have him in the team and I would recommend Luca to anyone who needs to solve any complex and difficult design problems.”

In tandem with development, we were ability to execute on the plan and begin drafting out similar plans for other components.”
- Daniel Palevski
Project manager at Thomson Reuters (New York - October 2015).
