[ Designer. Creative Director. Founder of Quartzo. ]
  • Hands-on and multidisciplinary, Leonardo thrives at the intersection of physical and digital —bringing analogue warmth, material intuition, and strategic clarity to the products people live with.

  • My practice bridges executive vision, design craft, and engineering reality. It harnesses a feel for perennial human nature —not user trends— to guide timeless design creations.
  • For me, design is a discipline of consequence. It shapes environments, and environments shape us: how we act, how we feel, what we remember. Every surface, every interaction, every silence in a product is a choice about the world we're building.

  • My work invites calm. A simplicity that isn't restrictive, but grounded. Rooted in the tactility of life, validated by observation, refined through response.
