About

I’m a UX/UI and information designer based in Milan, with around five years of experience working on complex systems and data-driven interfaces. My background spans two areas that I treat as connected: enterprise product design (back-office tools, operational platforms, management systems) and information design for editorial and research contexts, including data visualization and cartography.

What I tend to bring to a project is attention to informational logic: how content, data, and decisions are structured before they become interfaces. I’ve worked end-to-end across the design process, from research and IA through to UI and, in some cases, development.

I currently collaborate with Propp, a Milan-based design studio, on information design and editorial visualization projects. Past clients include Politecnico di Milano, Fondazione Symbola, and Iperborea.

A digital quiz artifact addressing visual misinformation, built at Density Design before fact-checking labels existed on social media. The project mapped real debunked cases to identify how different manipulation types work, then designed an interaction that makes the mechanism clear: you make a judgment, you find out you were wrong, you see exactly why. The tool was later picked up by Tactical Tech and translated into 22 languages.
