Endorsements︎
Andy Dilallo CCO • TBWA Sydney
Bruno is extraordinary in many, many, ways. He is not only a gifted designer and conceptual thinker: he also brings a depth of experience to the agency because of his travels and international background. Of course, he also has warmth, charm, and intelligence that makes colleagues at every level want to bask in his light.
Chacho Puebla CCO and Partner • LOLA MullenLowe Europe
Bruno Nakano is probably one of the most talented art director-designer- craftsman-focused people I know. Having worked with him on several projects has made my life easier.
Pim Van Nunem Founder • UNKL Brand and Design Consultancy
Bruno’s ideas come straight from the heart and his art direction is defined by his DNA. He’s a true artist that loves to work for brands. His creative eye will solve problems for clients and make them more successful.
Bruno is also one of few that understands communication as well as design. That makes him unique and extremely valuable for agencies and clients. He is so talented that he can turn around a brief from scratch to a global solution on his own. From idea to final artwork. It’s impressive to see how Bruno is able to put all his talent, time and energy behind a project he believes in.
Never seen someone so talented also able to work very, very hard to get it perfect. He has what it takes to create work at world class level. Bruno is hands down one of the best and complete creative personalities I’ve met in the industry. Plus one of the nicest and most humble ones you’ll ever work with.
Adrian Gunadi Executive Producer • Facebook
Bruno is someone who can supervise and execute all aspects of art direction and design with flair. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again, or recommend him to any company looking for the very best.
Lucas Zaiden Creative Director • AQKA SF
I strongly believe that the best way to push yourself harder is when you have right beside you someone who - with the same tools and assets - finishes the task a billion times better than you could ever imagine. That’s the opportunity that every Designer or Art Director will have while working with Bruno: to improve on a daily basis. With a great charisma, the biggest heart I’ve ever seen, easy going personality, flawless character and extreme loyalty, he’s a very valuable person that can fit any team in the world.
