About me

A bit about who I am outside of Figma.

My story

I have a Master's degree in Design & Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. After finishing Google's UX Design course, I started working as a UX/UI designer, and since then I've worked in Finland, Germany and Italy. I've also designed graphics for TEDx Fermo.

Beyond design

I love to travel: I've lived in Singapore while working remotely, and I volunteered in Portugal right after graduating. I'm passionate about the Chinese language, I play water polo, and I'm always up for learning something new: chess, guitar, crochet, you name it.

I like talking about design systems, digital products and new opportunities.
