About

I’m Elena Molinari, a product designer who sees design as the intersection of art and science—equal parts creativity and analysis. I’m a generalist by choice: I want to be part of the full process, from research and discovery to building, shipping and measuring impact.

AI became my all-round design thinking partner, an automation wizard and a skill-supercharger, freeing up more time for the decisions that need real judgment.
