I am a designer with a background in industrial and digital design, working across physical products, interfaces, and connected systems. My work explores how design decisions shape interaction, especially in contexts where technology meets health and everyday life. During my master's thesis I focused on wearable devices to interpret motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, translating sensor data into structured evaluations. I am particularly interested in how digital systems influence user behavior, perception, and care practices, and how design can mediate between raw data and user understanding.…I am a designer with a background in industrial and digital design, working across physical products, interfaces, and connected systems.

I am a designer with a background in industrial and digital design, working across physical products, interfaces, and connected systems. My work explores how design decisions shape interaction, especially in contexts where technology meets health and everyday life.

During my master’s thesis I focused on wearable devices to interpret motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, translating sensor data into structured evaluations. I am particularly interested in how digital systems influence user behavior, perception, and care practices, and how design can mediate between raw data and user understanding.

Education

Master's Degree in Design for the Built Environment (Digital Design) at University of Naples Federico II

September 1, 2022 - July 21, 2025

Thesis: Smart IoT System for Monitoring Motor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease Developed a system that collects data from wearable devices (Oura Ring, EmbracePlus, Tobii Glasses) and translates it into structured motor assessments based on MDS-UPDRS. The project investigated how sensor-based data can support the interpretation of physical conditions, and how design can mediate between raw data and user understanding. Methods included user-centered analysis, system mapping, and iterative prototyping of both physical and digital components.
