+15 years of experience

After working for more than a decade with agencies and product companies in Italy, Spain, and Germany, I transitioned to working as an independent consultant.

I specialise in working in cross-functional environments where design can catalyse the cooperation between product, marketing, sales, tech and business.

Clients often choose to work with me because I can quickly grasp complex topics, adapt to changing priorities, and bring a creative, solution-oriented approach to my work, along with dedication to high quality.
