I love to help such conversations to meaningful conclusions.” This is the principle that steers Charles’ dedication towards the design of impactful processes for development goals, to be achieved in partnership.
Our Vision
As the intention of any name is to give meaning and open a new path into the future, “Luminspino” is playing with the sequence of Romanian words ”lumină – inspirație – inovare”, i.e. ”light – inspiration – innovation”, and re-affirming that we draw our most creative and rich ideas from the source, at the same time within and beyond ourselves.
Luminspino’s image is that of two Origami peacocks. They symbolise the infinite possibilities opening up for us at any time, like a peacock’s extended tail, and, furthermore, they show that anything is deemed to be achieved through interaction, partnership and affinity.
