My journey
Every project brings different constraints,
timelines, and people.
Originally from Sicily, Italy, raised between mountains and sea.
I moved to Milan to study Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano, drawn in by the persuasive power of advertising.
A semester abroad in Vienna shifted my perspective. I saw how much persuasion depends on cultural and linguistic context, and I wanted to design something universal.
In 2019, I discovered UX and started my career at an agency.
After Milan I moved to Frankfurt am Main, specializing in simplifying complex systems, designing end-to-end applications, and working in organizations where sometimes UX was still finding its footing.
I've recently moved to New York, bringing a European design sensibility, a hands-on approach, and a habit of making things with my hands when I'm away from a screen… usually surrounded by plants.
I'm the designer you call when a product is complex, stakeholders disagree, and UX doesn't exist yet, and the kind of teammate you'll want for an after-work Spritz.
Outside the brief
Community & Mentoring
I believe design grows stronger when it's shared. For me, mentorship and community are extensions of the same principle that guides my product work: bringing clarity to complexity, and helping others do the same.
