I'm a product and UX/UI designer from Italy, interested in the space where design, science and technology meet.
My background began in Product Design at Politecnico di Milano and developed through an MA in Biodesign at Central Saint Martins, where I explored the potential of biology and emerging technologies within the bio-circular economy. This led me to Notpla, where I worked on seaweed-based materials and plastic-free packaging, combining hands-on product development with experimentation, testing and communication.
More recently, I expanded into digital design through an Executive Master in UX/UI Design at Politecnico di Milano, with the aim of connecting physical and digital experiences and approaching sustainability from a broader perspective. At Bubbl3s, a climate-tech startup developing microalgae-based air purification systems, I worked across UX/UI, product development, customer research and communication, contributing to both the product and the experience around it.
I am particularly interested in complex, interdisciplinary challenges, where design can connect different perspectives, technologies and areas of knowledge. I enjoy turning ideas, research and emerging technologies into tangible experiences, while working closely with people from different backgrounds.
Beyond design, I find inspiration through movement and making, particularly circus acrobatics, dance, clay modelling and drawing.
