I cannot express how much I am impressed with the quality of work and working style of our new interaction designer: Luciano Pouzada. Having gone through failed projects with three other designers, we finally found someone who not only understands design, but has great communication skills and understands that design is really based on communication!

If you’ve clicked through to Luciano’s page, you may realize he’s located in Brazil. But working with Luciano has made me feel like he’s sitting in the office next door. He’s always online asking and answering questions, and always communicating up front about his status, or if he’s going to be late on a delivery. If you ask me, I’d pick Luciano any day over any local candidates (in fact, we worked for a while with a local designer who had the habit of not answering emails for days at a time!)

The new Planypus design is now complete and is in the process of being implemented, so stay tuned!

Thank you Luciano!
