ABOUT US

OUR NAME:

Some say that Leonardo da Vinci, invented every modern device that exists today…from robots to flying machines. Inspired by his forward thinking and vision of the future, we named our company in his honor. It’s just as “Our founder” would have wanted. In fact, he wrote it in his notes. Backwards. icniVad.

OUR PROCESS:
