About me

work

I am a software interaction designer. I've been freelancing for the past 12 years. Here's an old porfolio (some stuff might be broken).
Some of the companies I've worked with: BiTicino, Poinx, Egro, Ciao Gusto, L'Eco della Stampa, Mediaddress, Morgan Tecnica, Glowal.

I gave small contributions to Firefox Developer Tools: link 1, link 2.

Last year I made an app to help amateur coaches teaching players. It didn't go as I wished, but I learned a lot.

The other side of the coin of learning is teaching: I worked for Bloc (now Thinkful) as a UI Design Mentor, and for Udacity as a Studends Guide after having being their student. I'm now (2024) a UI/UX teacher at Bomberos design.

personal

I am married to Chiara, we have two kids. When I am not in front of my Mac I might be reading a paperback book, playing with my kids or skiing on the Presena glacier.
