While studying with Luis Serrano, Luis had shown great leadership and team management as he organized and assigned projects for his students. When one of the students was falling behind, Luis managed to bring them back up to speed, all the time, every time. Luis also demonstrated excellent creativity in his works, and managed to pick up new tools & skills very rapidly. I enjoyed working and studying with Luis and hope to work with him again sometime in the near future.

Luis did a great job for us with creating audio and music Some very nice and complex pieces and his audio was always right on target. His great work needed little direction & he was able to be self directed creating perfect audio for what we needed.
