    uniE621 Fugenstone
    From dusty to dynamic! I rebuilt a decade-old website to give it a modern and clean user experience. My process began with detailed wireframes and mockups in Figma to redefine the product discovery and sample ordering process. The final site was custom-built with WordPress and Elementor Pro, resulting in a sleek, high-performing platform that’s helping the client connect with their audience in a whole new way.…
    uniE621 La Placette hotel & restaurant
    La Placette is a family-run restaurant and hotel born forty years ago in Usseaux, a sunny and well-kept mountain village (1430 meters above sea level), halfway between Fenestrelle and Pragelato, in Val Chisone, Italy. A typical mountain restaurant with a rustic and welcoming aspect invites its customers to enjoy a meal in a rumpus room with a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace and the right atmosphere to taste local specialities. For them, I studied a solution to empathize with the three aspects of their business: hotel, restaurant and SPA. I propose a rough wireframe to visualize the general aspect of their website and then build a navigable prototype using Figma. I conducted user research with a group of 8 people chosen by persons aged between 20 and 60 years old. 4 women and 4 men often reserve hotels and restaurants online and also love to relax in a SPA. 2 persons in this group also have disabilities like vision and language problems. The final product was realized with WordPress and Elementor Pro. https://www.twine.net/signin webdesigner designer uidesigner uxdesigner uxdesigner…

    uniE621 Ads campaign Maggiore Car Rental
    Maggiore is one of the most important car rental agency in Italy. For their new advertising campaign “Traveling without borders”, the client asked me to find an elegant way of representing this concept. After much searching for images that I thought were suitable for their campaign, I presented him with 30 drafts of which 3 were finally chosen. After this, I had to decline these images for all possible media: press, TV and web. The campaign brought a 9% rental increase to the customer. illustrator photo graphicdesigner designer adscampaign…
    uniE621 Urbani Truffle Chips
    Urbani Truffles is a world leader in the truffle market and has recently landed in Thailand. For his new line of chips, they asked me to create a packaging suitable for the Asian market and so I imagined a numbered series of packs that would make the product particular and easily recognizable. On supermarket shelves, the number on the packaging is immediately visible even after a few meters. Same thing for the checkered stripe that makes the product even more unique. In addition to having different photos, each envelope also has characteristic colours that differentiate them from the others of the same line. graphicdesigner illustrator packaging…
