I like to think that Design is the act of seeing from above, while feeling the ground’s touch. To relate human experiences and emotions with the everchanging complexity around us. This philosophy is what drives my Design workflow and methodology. My studies from ISIA Roma Design gave me the occasion to confront multiple Design disciplines, while focusing on the symbiotic relations between them; from product, communication and exhibit, to service, interaction, ux/ui, and marketing/managment. This allows me to Design both in favor the users and in favor of the general vision/project behind it.
