A native of Rome, Luigi Focanti has lived outside of Italy more often than not. Luigi spent much of the '80s and '90s as an expatriate in Venezuela then went on to settle in the U.S. in 1999 prior to joining the creative team at one of Hollywood’s leading entertainment design agencies. As founder and Creative Director of Focus Creative Group, Luigi draws on a prolific design career which spans three continents, an outstanding record in advertising, branding and merchandising –not to mention a good share of intuition and resourceful pragmatism. Luigi’s artistic vision and skill have earned him broad acclaim both as a designer and illustrator from organizations such as UNICEF, the Salt Lake Olympic Committee, the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and Communication Arts Magazine.
