I began my journey as a language enthusiast, which laid the foundation for my passion for understanding and connecting with people. This curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano, where I honed my skills in crafting meaningful user experiences and solving complex design challenges. Along the way, I earned the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) credential from the Project Management Institute (PMI), solidifying my expertise in orchestrating successful projects from concept to delivery.

With a dynamic blend of creativity and strategy, I specialize in user experience design, data visualization, and iterative processes. My background in digital marketing and design enables me to craft innovative solutions, informed by deep research into user behavior and client needs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting international clients across industries, driving impactful campaigns and delivering measurable results.

At the core of my approach is a belief that design isn’t just about aesthetics or processes—it’s about people. Whether creating digital strategies, designing systems, or managing complex projects, I focus on building solutions that genuinely improve the experience for those who use them.
