Experience

Rapid Prototyping Engineer / BAT Italy

Since AUG 2023, TRIESTE, ITA (Hybrid)

I'm part of the Agile Innovation team. I help teams within the organization make a shift in their ways of working, striving towards closer interaction with consumer, apply good design practices and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. All this while building awareness of the internal programs.

Product and Brand Designer / Freelance

Since JUN 2018 (Remote)

As a product designer, I help businesses turn their ideas into clearly defined interactive prototypes so they can develop products with confidence and get to market faster. If there's trouble making decisions, I run design workshops. Once the project is ready for launching, I help crafting memorable identity and showcase it on a beautiful website using Webflow.
