RECOMMENDATIONS

A selection of references from people I have had the pleasure to work with

ERIKA ANDERSSON – Senior UX/UI Designer, Garrison Consulting

Roberto’s contribution encompasses not only designing the solutions from a user interface standpoint but also devising the most effective means to develop the platforms, ensuring their speed, stability, and user-friendliness.


His versatility in these areas is unparalleled, and I have never worked with such a talented and multi-faceted designer.


As a person, Roberto is a pleasure to work with. He is social, pleasant, meticulous, driven, curious, and cooperative. His positive attitude, eagerness to learn and shares his knowledge with others make him a valuable asset to any team.


He is always willing to lend a helping hand and has really helped me grow as a designer.

AYOUB MOUSSADDAD – UX/UI Designer

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with many talented designers, but Roberto stands out as the most knowledgeable and impactful designer I’ve ever met.


The application we worked on was incredibly complex, but Roberto has a rare talent for simplifying everything. Whenever I felt stuck, he’d break things down in a way that instantly made sense.


And his feedback wasn’t just about fixing something it always came with insights that helped me grow as a designer. I’ve genuinely improved so much under his mentorship.


If you’re lucky enough to have Roberto on your team, you’ll quickly realize how rare it is to find someone like him.

MELISSA GOISA – Senior Business Analyst, Digital Transformation at Ericsson

His empathy shines through in their design work, always keeping the end user in mind and striving to create experiences that resonate with real people, but also is always available to support the team going the extra mile for everyone


Another awesome quality Roberto has shown in the team, is his abundant creativity and ability of generating fresh, innovative ideas.


Roberto is proactive and takes initiative without hesitation. He is always a step ahead, anticipating challenges and preparing solutions before problems arise. This aspect was shown many times when a requirement came in late and with priority to deliver.

One of the key strengths of Roberto is the exceptional communication skills. Whether collaborating with developers, presenting to stakeholders, or working within the design team, Roberto always articulates his ideas clearly and effectively, making sure that people in front of him can understand.

VIVIAN MURAD – Owner and Founder Murumi

Roberto is a highly skilled craftsman, where his talent lies above and beyond the actual production of the art. He pays careful attention to your message and starts creating your vision before you’ve even identified it. 


His strength is that he profoundly listens and crafts your voice with professionalism and integrity.


Roberto comes strongly recommended from us, and we look forward to working with him again. I personally haven’t had the pleasure of working with any other professional designer with his range and versatility.




KRISTOFFER DANIELSSON – Senior .Net Developer, Ericsson

Ask me to recommend a guy, and I will give you a list of three names. Roberto is one of them.


He’s got artistic talent. Combined with a great understanding of user/product interaction, and an unheard-of interest for computer graphics, shapes, colors and light (his studio laser cutters included) it makes him a strong candidate for any type of product design.


He envisions the end result and will work hard to make it a reality. Always with the end-user in mind.






SAMIR BELARBI – Art Director Candy Crush

Roberto was a key driver in raising the awareness among artists, UI and UX designers around technical optimization of art – doing both personal mentoring and workshops for the entire art team. During the work he showed great pedagogical skills and an ability to adapt the information to the target audience.


With the support from Roberto our artists substantially grew their tech skills, something that has allowed the team to deliver better and more optimized art to our 40 million unique weekly users.







T.I JAKKE ERIXSON – Multi Platinum Awarded Songwriter / Producer, Owner / Founder Gold Fever Records

Having worked as a music producer for 15 years with many of the world’s leading artists such as RedOne, JLo, Enrique Iglesias, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Alvaro Soler and the teams around them and I can easily say that Roberto is on the absolute highest level there is.


He is easy to work with and produces world class imagery / artwork! He has knowledge about, well, almost everything and is a great partner to have when you want to brainstorm new ideas or concepts.




OLLE TYRLAND – IT Tech Lead, Ericsson

Roberto is an extremely talented and experienced UX designer, who can handle any challenge with creativity and professionalism. He has a keen eye for customer needs and preferences, and he always delivers high-quality solutions in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to admit that the UX challenges we faced during our time at Ericsson were complex and delicate, often at a level where I thought it would be impossible to find the best way forward.


Roberto, however, always seemed to find the best possible solution, sometimes having to rethink the very user flow of some older existing products, wrestling with frugal stakeholders but always bringing a wide smile to their faces in the end.


I would recommend Roberto wholeheartedly to any team who needs a seasoned UX designer. I do hope that I get the chance to work with him again in the future, as he is the best UX professional I have met to this date.

LARS WESTLINDER – Senior Business Requirements at Ericsson

What I really liked working with Roberto was his overall engagement and ambition to understand how users would interact with the application, and that he had a solid argumentation behind his ideas. Personally, I find this extremely important as then discussions become based on facts.


And as part of this I also appreciated his readiness to handle changes when new information emerged and that he put in the effort to make sure that changes was managed consistently throughout the whole application suite.


I would recommend Roberto whenever a client would be in need of a person that can take full responsibility for defining and implementing a UI/UX strategy from start to finish.

TED IANNUZZI – Business strategist

Roberto is uniquely gifted with a creative and analytical mind, which allows him to uncover, design, develop and launch (and continuously improve upon!) highly disruptive ideas.


Whether he’s speaking at an event, designing the UX/UI for software or sketching a piece of 3D printed jewelry, his attention to detail for bringing a vision to life is second to none that I’ve worked with.

WILLIAM USTAV – Video Producer at Houdini

No matter which context you put him in, you can be sure of that he will excel. As I’ve worked as both a copywriter and video producer for 15 years, more than anything I’ve learned to discern good qualities from bad – in any kind of professional.


I’ve had the honor to work with Roberto on several occasions, and he has always delivered at a very high standard, whether filming a video with state-of-the-art technology or snapping incredible photos in contexts that would make the hands of other photographers shiver.
