I am a designer and educator with twenty years of experience in creating and teaching across diverse product sectors. I have mentored over 2000 designers who now work in leading fashion and design companies, coordinated the Jewelry Department at IED for four years, and helped transform university courses. I have bridged industry and academia by partnering with Bulgari, De Beers, Reminence, Mandarina Duck, and Morellato, and I pioneered the first university prototyping course in Italy. I am passionate about turning concepts into tangible objects using 3D modeling, prototyping, and new materials. I stay constantly updated with new technologies and software, and I love combining analytical listening with creativity to solve problems and lead teams.
