About

I'm a product designer with 8 years of experience working across fintech, SaaS, and consumer apps. Over the past two years I've rebuilt my entire workflow around AI, using it for user research synthesis, rapid prototyping, copy generation, and design QA. The result is a process that's faster, more informed, and less dependent on team size.

I've worked with early-stage startups and scale-ups across Europe and North America, leading design from zero to one on products now used by hundreds of thousands of people. I'm comfortable owning the full design process, from discovery and strategy through to shipped product, and I work closely with engineers, PMs, and founders to make sure design decisions hold up in production.

I'm based in Milan, available for full-time and contract work, and open to fully remote roles.
