Human-Computer Interaction student at the University of Trento, passionate about designing clear, data-informed interfaces and conducting UX research that improves real experiences. I enjoy turning complex problems into intuitive workflows through strong information architecture, prototyping, and iterative testing. Alongside UX work, I have a parallel creative career as an illustrator and visual designer—creating book covers and editorial visuals—so I care deeply about visual consistency, hierarchy, and communication. I’m currently focused on building interfaces that support better decision-making in human–AI and human–robot contexts.
