Rooted in Italy.
Open to the world.
Italian design thinking, international ambition. We believe strong ideas cross borders — and great partnerships do too.
CREATIVE INDEPENDENCEAn independent studio.
A point of view.
LEO STUDIO DESIGN is an Italian-led creative practice serving businesses in the United States and beyond. Our work brings together the discipline of strategy, the emotion of visual storytelling, and the detail-driven culture of Italian design.
We approach every project as a collaboration: understanding the ambition behind the business, finding the right visual language, and shaping an experience that feels unmistakably its own.
Experience that
speaks for itself.
Leo Macina’s creative journey began in fashion and graphic design, including studies at Istituto Marangoni in Milan and work with Italian craftspeople in Puglia. He founded the original Leo Studio Design fashion label in 2014, developing collections combining contemporary graphics, craft and experimentation.
The earlier label was featured by Vogue Italia, reached the 2018 Who Is On Next? finals, received the Coin Excelsior award and appeared in the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana’s Green Carpet Talent Competition shortlist.
Today, LEO STUDIO DESIGN LLC presents creative and digital design services for U.S. and international businesses. Historical references describe the founder’s work, not the operating history of the U.S. company.
“Design is not just how a brand looks. It's how a brand becomes unforgettable.”
Less noise.
More meaning.

Good design has a reason behind every decision.
Character
A recognizable point of view is more valuable than following a trend.
Craft
Details are never an afterthought. They are the difference.
Collaboration
The best ideas come from listening, thinking, and building together.
