Ciao! I am a Senior UX Designer and I live in Trento, Italy.

What I can do for you:

Help you become a (better) UX Designer: I mentor UX Design students and young professionals.
Speak at your event or deliver UX training: I've already spoken at tech conferences and meetups, where I have shared my learnings with junior and aspiring designers. I have sharpened my skills thanks to Women Talk Design and aiming at teaching a UX course before the end of 2024.
Help you improve or create your digital product: I occasionally offer UX consultations as well as design and ship websites.

About me:

A former Psychology graduate, I discovered the world of UX at university while specializing in Human-Computer Interaction. My design interests range from Cognitive UX to Website Design as well as communicating Design effectively.
