Summary
I'm a Design Director, Designer, and Lecturer with over ten years of experience. Originally from Crema, a small town in northern Italy, I'm now based in Zurich, Switzerland.
I've always been drawn to the intersection of design and technology. Over the years, I've explored Arduino and the basics of coding to prototype ideas and bring concepts to life. It wasn't to become a developer, but instead to build functional proofs of concept to test and refine design solutions.
My work blends the hands-on mindset of maker culture with the strategic thinking of service design. I focus on creating thoughtful, user-centered experiences — balancing craft, systems thinking, and a deep curiosity for how things work.
