“Every talk with Luiz is a delight; not only does he help with whatever you bring to the table, but he makes sure to uncover all the deeper information lying underneath it. Detail-oriented and fully transparent, any conversation will leave you with a lot more than what you came for.”
Felipe Melhado MSc Design student Linköping University
Luiz is an EXTREMELY good listener, which inspires me to try to be a better one myself. […] He’s - in my opinion - one of the best facilitators I have had the pleasure to work and join sessions with. He has a way of capturing everyone in the room to listen and engage with what you’re saying, and he truly embodies the words “collaboration” and “co-creation.”
