I am Ilaria Bonanno, a traveler and critical thinker turned UX/UI designer based in Milan. I blend philosophy with design to create thoughtful digital experiences, and I love sealing away friction through research, prototyping, and iteration. When I’m not crafting interfaces, you’ll likely find me climbing, surfing, or exploring new places with curiosity and an open mind. I work across research, ideation, prototyping, testing, refinement, and dissemination to turn complex ideas into elegant, usable products. I rely on Figma, the Adobe Creative Suite, GenAI, and my fallible human brain to solve problems and push boundaries in UX design and digital strategy.
