What collaborators say

Lou was one of my key team members at Fiksu. He is possibly one of the nicest, get-it-done people I’ve had the pleasure to know and worth with. He’s a talented designer willing and able to tackle a wide range of projects himself or guide and motivate his team. Skilled at keeping many balls in the air at all times, he's committed to getting the job done well and on time. He knows exactly when to break the pressure with perfectly timed humor. Lou was a pleasure to manage - he’s communicative, loyal, earnest, and self effacing. Those characteristics are also what make him an effective manager and collaborator. Lou is always learning, using his commuting time to master new tools or techniques. Would most definitely hire him again.

Kathy Pattison GM, Venture Lane Startup Hub Fiksu · April 2016

Collaborative, creative and all around great guy! It has been a fantastic experience working with Lou on projects including brand development, websites, ebooks, ad units, UIs and much more. Lou brings tremendous passion to every project and is a pleasure to work with.

Craig Palli Educator | Venture Partners | Consultant Fiksu · March 2016

Lou is a top-notch Art Director. He can do it all. Web, print, interface/interaction design, video, team management, you name it. In addition to being extremely creative, he is self-sufficient, responsible, detail oriented and has a wonderful can-do attitude. It was an absolute pleasure working with Lou. I would highly recommend him.

Tom Nielsen User Experience Director, CVS CIDC · November 2011

Lou is a talented designer and a very good manager. He is well-organized and creative. I found him to be an excellent team player; always listening to the need of the client but always giving his expert feedback. His flexible approach, dedication, sense of humor, and personable nature made him a pleasure to have as a colleague.

Sandrine Mangia-Park VP of Marketing, Cala Systems CIDC · Sept 2011

Lou is a very powerful asset for the CIDC. He is extremely dedicated and committed to his role, he is hand on and can achieve a huge amount of work. Lou is both a brilliant designer as well as a very good people manager. He follow-up and meet the deadlines and commitment he takes for him or his team. He is Problem solver, a good communicant, always trying to accommodate needs and requests from his stakeholder / hierarchy. He supports and helps his direct report as expected. I really appreciate the way Lou manages his team of designers. He know how to gives enough autonomy so that they can be very creative, and in the meantime he knows how to scope the work so that the stakeholder, including myself won’t be disappointed. He knows as well how to motivate his team in difficult and challenging context. He is perceived by his team as someone who helps people to grow. To sum-up, he is the best Art director I’ve been working with so far.
