Why Milan-based for US clients works
The studio is in Milan. The work ships to anywhere with internet. That separation lets you hire the senior lead instead of the local office. Pricing is transparent because there's no satellite-office overhead to recover. Reviews happen in your timezone because the studio is set up for it, not because we converted a single bedroom into a "New York presence." And the work itself is benchmarked against Italian, French, British, and US-coast studio output — that's the bar.
Eight years of California projects, multi-year North American developer engagements, hospitality brand work for US flag operators, and one-off entertainment-industry briefs out of LA — all delivered remotely from one production stack in Milan, all on fixed fee, all invoiced in USD.
