He's a natural leader who is unafraid of even the most difficult of challenges, and proactively tackles them head on with a positive "can do" attitude. He's well connected, very resourceful, and an incredibly collaborative team player and coach who is always graciously lending support his fellow team members. It's been an absolute pleasure working with him, and I look forward to more opportunities to collaborate with him in the future!

Silvio is an amazing designer and a team leader, he always has a customer perspective in mind and even in a very difficult situation he is an amazing collaborator and a truth finder. Silvio is also a great team leader and an amazing mentor, he is always available to people for an advice or a good heart to heart conversation. I am so lucky I had an opportunity to work with Silvio - I would recommend him to any team without hesitation in either a team lead or an individual contributor roles - he is amazing in either capacity.

I had the pleasure of working with Silvio to offer a workshop for our clients. I highly recommend Silvio for any role where his expertise, creativity, and passion for design will make a meaningful impact. All of our clients figured out in a few minutes that he is deeply dedicated to his work and passionate about design. He went above and beyond, offering extra time, in sharing his extensive knowledge and experience with my clients, contributing significantly to our group's success!

Silvio has excelled as both a mentor and leader within our team. He champions complete transparency in his interactions, ensuring that everyone is aligned and collaboratively striving towards a common objective. His leadership abilities shine through in his dedication to empowering each team member to reach their utmost potential. Silvio is adept at offering insightful feedback, covering both technical aspects and communication skills. He embraces the role of providing constructive criticism and, with his sense of humor, has transformed our workspace into an environment that is not only professional but also warmly personal. I consider myself fortunate to have encountered a manager like Silvio early in my career, who has significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth.

Silvio's an amazing, genuine human being and am very lucky to have had the chance to connect with him recently. He generously spent time providing actionable, relevant insights on design leadership and career transitions, is unafraid to share his mind and assessments. We need more design leaders like him who see (and can connect) the big picture.

I recently attended a workshop led by Silvio, and it was a truly enlightening experience. His expertise in design thinking and his understanding of design maturity were deeply inspiring. The session and subsequent discussions provided a solid base for understanding effective design strategies and testing techniques.

Silvio's design thinking is profound and insightful. I found myself thinking back to our conversations weeks later while facing another design challenge. His ability to gently challenge my assumptions made our UX an order of magnitude better.

Vittorio BanfiFounder, former Google
“

Silvio's skills as a UX designer are beyond remarcable and he is both highly professional and extremely pleasant to work with.
He combines a keen empathic approach that factors qualitative information with strong engineering background that roots the analysis process in quantitative data and provides solution that are both effective and realistic from a technology standpoint.
He is easy to work with as he factors not only the UX challenges of the end user but the business priorities that affect the sales process and listens to the client, guiding him/her towards finding common grounds.
His mentoring has helped us solve some of our key UX challenges and our client's feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
