About my design journey

I’m Ludo, the purpose-driven brand designer behind Designed by Ludo.

My journey began as an in-house graphic designer at a Milan startup, before moving to London to pursue personal growth and new opportunities. Along the way, I developed a deep commitment to mindfulness, sustainability, and community building, values that continue to shape my work today.

Experiencing the limitations of traditional agencies, I launched a purpose-driven studio, partnering with organisations focused on positive social and environmental impact.

Over seven years in London, the studio has delivered successful brand, digital, and print solutions for startups, social enterprises, charities, and entrepreneurs.

Now, ready to expand globally, the mission is to empower change-makers worldwide through compelling visual identities and branding that authentically reflect their values and build lasting audience connections.

Collaborations

A creative team of experts is assembled for every project, delivering brand strategy, social media, web development, illustration, motion design, photography, and more. Flexible collaboration means any needed creative service or specialist can be added to match your goals. Partnerships with small London-based agencies expand the network, all united by a mission to elevate brands.

I am an active networker and in general, a people person. Connect here or via LinkedIn to start your next successful collaboration.

Jiu-jitsu offers more than just self-defense. It's a powerful tool for cultivating self-discipline, confidence, and physical fitness while also developing essential self-protection skills.
