Recommendations
“Alvaro combines a great sense of aesthetic and encyclopaedic knowledge of the European design scene with brilliant attitude at work. A solid addition to any design team, I definitely recommend him.”
Dan Vasconcelos
Design Director at Appetite
2011 — 2012
“I had the pleasure of working with Alvaro for a number of years when I was senior strategist at Appetite. We worked together on a wide range of projects in Higher Education and Professional Services. Alvaro is an exceptionally talented designer who brings fresh thinking to every project and a European design perspective. He is able to bring clarity to incredibly complex design problems with a full appreciation of both print and digital processes and importantly, delivers on time. I have no hesitation in recommending Alvaro.”
