Who I Am

I am a creative
and big-picture
thinker.

As UX/UI Designer, I like to build enjoyable experiences rather than viable products.


Thanks to my broad experience, I am a creative and big-picture thinker, with a sharp eye for details. My work is driven by insights and data, but shaped by usability and brand perception.

I see UX Design as the process of optimising products to increase business value and improve the overall corporate identity.

I love to work in a cross-functionally and multi-disciplinary team.
I enjoy teaching design and coaching teams towards achieving a vision.

Manifesto

The digital world has changed, with an exponential evolution in the last 15 years. It has extended its tendrils beyond the boundaries of Internet, constantly reaching the user thanks to the great connectivity provided by digital products and devices.

For this reason it is imperative to understand how this world has grown, how it conditions the user and, at the same time, how the user interacts with it.

This kind of interaction, because it is not just limited to a website, but it extends to personal devices that are constantly part of our daily life, contributes to generate experiences.

Some of these experiences begin in the digital world to end into the real world, becoming something we can feel on our skin.

In a world rich of comparable products, it is the experience that makes the difference.

Making the difference also means to build a better digital product. To do so, it is fundamental to know how the digital world is evolving, what the standards are, what functionalities and patterns users expect and, most of all, what are their needs.

Speaking about digital products corresponds to speaking about user experience. The user experience determines the user’s choices.
