Gio is a passionate, super talented and committed creative professional, with a big scope for art direction and graphic design as well, and a vast visual and personal culture. He embraced my vision of a sustainable, mature creative work and worked on every detail to make it happen, coaching a new breed of designers that worked with him at the same time. I feel privileged to have worked with him and recommend him for any creative team that wants to do serious, real work and grow in quality."
