HI, NICE TO MEET YOU

I am an Interaction and UX Designer with a passion and expertise in Wearable Technology.

After developing skills in Exhibition and Interaction Design between Italy and The Netherlands, I came to California to co-found design & innovation consultancy Round Feather, where I lead several Design for Happiness engagements with Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Anthem, H&R Block, Capital Group and more.

More recently I pursued my passion in Wearable Technology and Smart Fashion through work at CU Boulder, the course Fabricademy and a few fun projects.

Currently I combine DESIGN THINKING & DOING on different types of projects, ranging from complex B2B software systems to smart garments to social justice.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF ATTUNEMENT?

In order to design products that meet people’s needs as well as industry standards, the key is ATTUNEMENT.

In my years working as an Interaction & UX Designer, I notice the still wide discrepancy between people’s needs and the solutions we propose to meet them. Value chains are complex, competition is stiff, timelines are tight, the politics is REAL… Such ingredients, poorly dosed, make for poor user experiences, where the users real needs are disregarded in favor of sub-optimal screen based interactions.

IF WE WANT TO DESIGN A BETTER FUTURE, WE MUST ATTUNE TO THE needs OF THE PRESENT. EVERYTHING SPEAKS TO US ALL THE TIME.

DO WE RESONATE?

Every day I learn so much about the world. From people, from walks in Nature, from the Ocean, from accounting software, from sewing and drawing and doing Yoga. I am very passionate about making complex technology more accessible to people while keeping it engaging, and I dream about working on improving health care and management, financial literacy and equality (gender, racial, age, ALL of it) through immersive and embodied experiences. Does any of these ring a bell? If so, get in touch!
