AVAILABLE FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Born as a linguistic student, I decided to follow my path in communication design at Politecnico di Milano with a bachelor and a master degree. Successfully got a Certified Associate in Project management (CAPM) from the Project Management Insititute (PMI).

Creative and dynamic Communication Design graduate with consolidated expertise in user experience design, data visualisation and iterative design gained through a strong digital marketing and branding background. Proven experience in the analysis and research of user behaviour to support the execution of campaigns for start-up businesses on a remote and employed basis.

Currently working and seeking opportunities as a Project Manager for a variety of projects and teams from website development to online presence management, including digital marketing strategy.

The background in user experience design shapes my approach: a designer of better ways of doing things, not for the benefit of the process itself, but because the users of the system matter
