I’m a 25-years-old Italian service & experience designer + researcher currently based in Milan, Italy.
I am a strong advocate for decolonisation within design and the worst enemy against Human Centered Design (which human are we centering anyway?).
I see intersectionality and reflexivity as keys to rethinking the design practice, I try to delve into these themes conscious of my social position of privilege.
In the past few years I’ve worked and lived in more than six cities and five countries.
I hold a BSc from Politecnico di Milano. I've completed two Erasmus and graduated from PSSD, a MSc programme at Polimi collaborating with Design without Borders.
I previously worked at FJORD Zurich on projects around employee experience, humanitarian aid and ux research.
At present, I’m a research fellow @ Polimi, investigating the relationship between Service Design, Systemic and Future-Oriented perspectives, I will looking for jobs starting from Jan 2025.
The things that I love the most in life are my partner, hunting for vintage & second-hand clothes, early morning swims, long dinners with many friends and gardens full of plants.
