Hi, I’m Matteo Cappelletti, a product and motorcycle designer based in Lugano. I specialize in shaping innovative transportation concepts—from three-wheel tilting motorcycles to bold brand identities. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible forms through sketching, 3D modeling, and rapid prototyping.
Hi there! With a background in Product Design from IED Milan and hands-on experience across leading brands in Italy, Switzerland, and Taiwan, I combine aesthetics with engineering practicality to deliver compelling products and visual identities. I’m collaborative, solve problems quickly, and love exploring new materials, technologies, and digital interfaces.
