About
I completed my MA in Design & Engineering at Politecnico di Milano in 2012. During university, I collaborated with many prototype workrooms, design studios and companies. In 2009 attended Fuorisalone 2009 with Hula Lamp project, made in collaboration with Mumble Mumble and Resine Gobbetto. In 2012 I worked in the 3M Global Design Lab, designing for Scotch-Brite®, Scotch®, Post-it®, Filtrete™ and 3M Display and Graphics. I deep understood of all the steps behind the development of a global project.
During the last period, I worked as industrial design consultant and I managed several international projects, following these from the concept to the pre-production phase.
I temporarily moved to Toronto (Nov 13 - Feb 14) to explore and deep understand the interesting Canadian design scenario. I followed several events and shows in the design field as head editor for Aside Blog (e.g. IDS 2014, Toronto Design Offsite Festival) and I collaborated with the Italian Cultural Institute during the exhibition “Matteo Ragni: Almost 20 years of Design”, Roarockit Skateboard Company and OCAD University. -
