Senior UX/UI Designerwho ships, end-to-end.
Frontend & AI-fluent. Remote-first across EU. Based in Italy.
I build the systems that let teams ship faster without breaking things.
About
I’m a Senior UX/UI Designer with 15+ years in digital design, 5+ focused on complex product — end-to-end, from research and UX/UI to shipped React/TypeScript code. I use AI to compress delivery cycles without compromising design judgment.
I’ve worked on mission-critical platforms across public administration, healthcare, finance and defence — and on personal projects that push the boundary of what privacy-first design can look like.
Selected work
Case studies are being published progressively over the next weeks.

Skills & tools
- Design
- Figma-native. I build design systems from tokens up, prototype at every fidelity, and keep accessibility — WCAG 2.1, AGID — in the architecture, not the checklist.
- Frontend
- React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind. I write production code and collaborate with engineering as a peer, not a handoff.
- AI
- I use Claude, Cursor, Figma AI and generative tools to accelerate exploration and validation — keeping judgment and accountability mine.
