ABOUT

I bring clarity to complex products and systems.

I’m a Lead Product Designer with 10+ years of experience across enterprise SaaS, mobile and digital products. I lead complex products from discovery and research through interaction design, validation and delivery.

I’m a Lead Product Designer with 10+ years of experience across enterprise SaaS, mobile and digital products. I lead complex products from discovery and research through interaction design, validation and delivery.

I’m particularly drawn to products where the answer isn’t immediately obvious — complex workflows, interconnected systems and emerging technologies that require structure, clarity and careful product thinking.

How I work

The approach changes with the problem.

I don’t believe every project should follow the same design process. The approach depends on the problem, the maturity of the product, the users involved and what the team needs to learn.

Complex systems

I map relationships, dependencies, permissions and workflows before focusing on individual screens, helping turn fragmented enterprise experiences into systems that are easier to understand and scale.

New products

When the problem is still ambiguous, I focus on discovery, stakeholder alignment and defining the right product before moving into detailed design.

AI-enabled experiences

I explore where AI can genuinely reduce effort or complexity, while considering trust, explainability and how users stay in control.

AI product design · Experimentation · Trust

Existing products

I balance user needs with technical constraints, legacy architecture and the realities of incremental delivery, improving the experience without ignoring how the product is actually built.

What I bring

Design leadership without losing the hands-on work.

I enjoy operating between strategy and execution. I work closely with Product, Engineering, clients and senior stakeholders to shape direction, clarify complex problems and move work through delivery. I also mentor designers, facilitate critique and help teams improve design quality, consistency and accessibility.

Cross-functional collaborators

Good product design should absorb complexity, not pass it on to users.

Clarity over complexity

I simplify difficult workflows without oversimplifying the problem.

Evidence over assumptions

I use research, testing and feedback to challenge what we think we know.

Systems over isolated screens

I consider how products, people, processes and technology connect.

Emerging technology

Curious about what’s next.

My recent work includes AI-enabled experiences across conversational assistance, automated summarisation, intelligent comparison, assisted data mapping and workflow configuration. I’m interested in emerging technology when it solves a real problem — not simply because it’s new.

Outside the process diagrams

Beyond the process diagrams.

I’m originally from Italy and now based in London. I started in visual and graphic design before moving into UX and product design, and that background still shapes how much I care about clarity, hierarchy and visual quality.

I enjoy working with curious, collaborative people who are comfortable challenging assumptions — especially when the problem is messy and the answer isn’t obvious yet.
