Testimonials

Leo is an extremely skilled designer and an expert craftsman, his ability to create and craft beautiful and intelligent creative is second to none. I have worked with Leo for many years and I value not only his creativity but also his ability to work collaboratively and take on board feedback, whilst always maintaining the integrity of design. He is a great asset to have in your team, or heading a project, you can rely on his commitment to getting the job done. All this is wrapped up in an easy-going friendly personality who is a pleasure to work with.

Stephen Blundell

Design Manager, NBCuniversal

Leo came highly recommended from a mutual friend of ours, and we have since worked on a number of projects together, as he is both highly skilled but also a pleasure to have as part of the team. As well as being a fantastic Motion Designer one of Leo's key skills is was assisting us on art direction, coming up with clever solutions to tricky briefs. He is amazing to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good pair of capable hands.

I'm delighted to provide a character reference for Leo Fernandes. He has proven to be an invaluable freelance addition to our studio over the years. He is fastidious, disciplined, efficient and extremely competent at getting projects delivered on time, every time.I've known Leo for almost 3 years, and his rapport with our team and candid approach to various projects, makes him an exemplary asset for any organisation.

Aleks Terczynska

Studio Manager, Viasat Worldwide

Leo is one of those rare gems that can take even your wooliest brief, immediately see what you need and provide the layer of art direction required to get you to the outcome; which is a brilliant blend of being channel-specific, brand-right and visually striking. He is one of the few designers/editors I've worked with who uses Runway extensively, which is a huge time saver and provides lots of AI magic within a single editing/graphics workflow. He's also just a lovely person and a joy to work with! Highly recommend.
