Any creative project becoming something to be proud of requires no small amount of patience and a big effort—work that can be overwhelming at times. To find someone truly trustworthy that is willing to step in and not only assist, but offer improvements and advice—is invaluable.
In producing the artwork and design for my memoir, Carmelo put to work his creative eye and proven experience—at all times exuding calm and confidence.
There is very little second guessing his good ideas and advice, which all resulted in something that I am so proud of. He is one great partner!

Carm is a creative luminary, and our experience with him as a strategist and creative director, in one person, was nothing short of transformative. His engaging, thoughtful, and polite demeanor set the tone for collaborative brilliance.
Amidst our creative challenges, Carm's wit, conceptual thinking, and strategic reasoning were a beacon of clarity. With an uncanny ability to ask the right questions, he effortlessly navigated through our ideas, crafting a brand positioning and language that were not just unique, but resonated profoundly with the entire Aduro team.
Carm's impact was more than professional; it was an infusion of inspiration that revitalized our creative spirit.

Carm has an unparalleled ability to breathe life into the ordinary and craft not just advertisements, but emotionally driven stories that unfold into beautiful works of art. While working alongside him we've seen a transformation from simple CTAs to telling the full story of our brand in meaningful engaging ways.
His passion for creating goes far beyond design as he always provides strong insight and reason behind every small detail to ensure our branding is always evolving while staying consistent. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo or the way we think about our brand in order to bring fresh ideas to the table. We truly appreciate the vision, dedication and thoughtfulness he bring to every project.

Carm is a great listener who distills ideas to their essence. His design and storytelling expertise were key in guiding me through the Association of Registered Graphic Designers certification process.
He strikes an ideal balance between celebrating strengths and identifying areas for improvement, all while offering feedback with kindness.
Even with all his experience, Carm is open about his own challenges, so working with him felt like a peer-to-peer experience. His advice and guidance helped me perfect my portfolio presentation, leading to my RGD certification as well as an increase in client work.
I highly recommend Carm to any designer looking for a coach or mentor!

Thank you for the incredible key messaging workshop and the thoughtful deliverables that followed. The experience was not only insightful but also truly valuable to our team. We appreciated the structured approach, the engaging discussions, and the clarity you brought to our messaging.
The impact of this workshop has already been felt, and we plan to implement similar measures in future projects to maintain this level of strategic alignment. Your expertise made a significant difference, and we're grateful for the time and effort you put into making this a success.

Carm is officially a ‘designer’ but his title does not properly capture the breadth of his skills and the value he provides to his clients.
He is relentless in his pursuit of understanding the needs of the project and he will challenge and empower you to strip away the noise and jargon towards finding sophisticated simplicity.
Carm will meet you where you are, with a willingness to roll up his sleeves and work through any problem, and in the process becomes a friend and ally. He is thoughtful and considerate as a person and in his work, and I look forward to our many future collaborations.

We’ve worked with Carm on hundreds of projects over the last 16 years. He’s a legitimate design genius with world-class creative skills and a unique visual perspective.
From print campaigns and digital assets, to brand identity and creative direction, Carm has been an important part of our company's growth. His ideas, and the implementation of those ideas, have put us head and shoulders above our competition in the health, fitness and nutrition space.

When new families walk into Clanmore, one of the first things they comment on is the fact that the school feels the way the marketing materials make it look.
Galati Creative really took the time to learn about what makes Clanmore unique, and then to find a way to tell that story. The story is seamlessly integrated into our brochures, folders, stationery, logos, program icons, curriculum charts and the like. Thank you Carm for bringing to the surface the jewel which lay within.
