This page aims to be an informal CV to convey my personality and values through written words.
It shouldn’t take more than 3 minutes to read it all 🕒.
I currently work in Turin (Italy) as a UX Designer for Accenture.
I previously worked as a UX Designer for Alkemy, a digital consultancy firm based in Milan, and as a UX/UI Designer for Blockzero, a creative agency based in Malmö, Sweden.
My daily activities cover the entire UX process, from research to user testing.
I particularly enjoy working in the middle of the UX design process (IA, user flows, high fidelity wireframes and prototyping) and nerding out on small UI details.
Working in design teams can be hard sometimes: I've been doing it daily since 2011 and it taught me how to approach it in a healthy way.
I like to give honest and polite feedbacks and I don’t get offended or emotional about decisions and reviews. Method and efficiency is what I aim for and I only care about the quality of the final result, hoping to always behave in professional and open-minded manners.
I work fast, I think fast, I don't freak out under pressure; that doesn't mean I love impossibly tight timelines though.
Working constantly overtime isn't a badge of honor, just a lack of process (and a one way ticket to burnout).
I have a MSc degree in Interaction Design from Malmö University in Sweden and I also own a Bachelor degree in Design and Visual Communication from the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy.
Alongside academic studies, I constantly search for new design skills and methods through online courses.
I am obsessed with knowledge and I want to understand the complexity of a scenario before I start designing; I am not satisfied with bit and pieces of information, I need to see the big picture.
Being “good enough” is not nearly enough for me: I want to be one of the best in my craft, yet I am never satisfied with what I do or know and I continuously try to improve my work and skills.
When not working, I'm usually lost in wilderness enjoying outdoor sports and connecting with nature.
I try to tune down the distractions of everyday life to make space for joyful moment, meaningful people and challenging point of views.
The older I get more I realize how privileged I am compared to the rest of the world, so I try to not complain about my “struggles”, because I never truly had one: I know I need to work to achieve what I want and I try to always be grateful for the wonderful life I already have.
Introvert and relativist by nature, I try everyday to become a better version of myself, leading by example rather than shouting my opinion, and treating people the way I’d like to be treated.
Right now my focus is on finding a balance between work and life, and I am optimistic (fool? 😉) enough to believe that I can build a successful career and have a lifestyle aligned with my values at the same time.
My dream is to have a life full of experiences and memories, while leaving behind the smallest environmental impact and the most positive influence in the community around me.
