About
I am Industrial Designer with a Master in Transportation Design carried out in Torino, Italy. I have more than 17 years of experience designing products and systems for a wide range of companies and fields, from start-ups to big holdings, from medical devices, mix reality glasses up to electric city cars and harvesting machines.
I am a versatile and pro-active person, with outstanding work ethic, trustworthy, responsive and a positive attitude. I am listener, team player and self-worker. I am always motivated to improve and learn personal and professional skills.
I keep attention to the different areas such ideation, style, production, ergonomics, and feasibility as well, delivering creative and innovative solutions.
My goal is being part of a great team, sharing my experiences and knowledge to others, enriching the design process, knowing that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. -
