Product Designer
Faster design delivery
Cross-functional alignment
Design-to-code accuracy
UI Reuse
I research complex structures, transform them into simple design concepts, and clearly communicate and drive the work forward using client-driven scenarios.
I quickly build credibility with clients’ teams and establish personal relationships with business leaders and technical staff. This gives me access to the depth of information needed to shape user-centred design decisions that actually stick.
Broad background spanning design, development, architecture, and services — extended by hands-on experience with workflow automation (n8n), API integration, AI tools and agents, and git-based design systems. This gives me a sharp intuition to recognise what works and what breaks, enriched by an Italian design mindset that values aesthetics, functionality, and precision.
Full-time commitment to your product. I integrate fully with your team, driving end-to-end design delivery from discovery and research through to launch and iteration. Ideal for companies scaling rapidly or building design systems from the ground up.
Dedicated part-time design engagement. UX direction combined with hands-on design work on core features and design system evolution. Perfect for companies with mature products or existing design resources who need a senior perspective without a full-time hire.
Focused strategic guidance with targeted execution. Design consultation, audits, and production-ready designs for priority initiatives. Great for early-stage companies or specific design challenges.
Systemic Design approach: Design thinking for clarity. Systems thinking for scale.
Design is never isolated. I think in ecosystems where each product, service, and interaction is deeply interconnected. I approach design as an evolving process that responds to real-world complexity, scales with your organisation, and creates long-term value. In today’s digital and tech-driven Europe, this mindset isn’t just a differentiator - it’s a necessity.
I visualise the full landscape, connecting services, teams, technologies, and users to understand the ecosystem as a whole.
I look beyond the immediate brief to uncover long-term opportunities aligned with digital transition, data sovereignty, and ethical innovation.
I build modular frameworks that grow with your business, flexible enough to adapt to evolving tools, platforms, and user expectations.
I integrate feedback loops and iteration rhythms to improve over time, ensuring design stays relevant, resilient, and human-centred.
I anchor every design decision in your strategic goals, helping you stay competitive while navigating regulatory and digital transformation.
I embed sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion into every layer, reflecting your digital responsibility and commitment to a fairer future.
