I assist to design and lead UX and service research for teams working in healthcare, wellbeing, public services, and social impact. With a PhD in Design from Politecnico di Milano and 6+ years of hands-on practice, I bring academic focus to real-world projects. My work spans the full research-to-design arc: from in-depth qualitative studies and co-creation workshops to UX audits, journey maps, service blueprints, and interaction design. I've collaborated with patient organizations, healthcare providers, nonprofits, startups, and public agencies: across Europe and remotely. Whether the brief is a complex service ecosystem or a focused digital product, I translate complexity into clear, actionable outputs your team can actually use. What I bring: - Published research and peer-reviewed frameworks on long-term care - Mixed-methods fluency - interviews, workshops, usability testing, surveys, Excel, NVivo - Hands-on UX and service design delivery - Figma, blueprints, prototypes, Miro - Experience bridging clinical, institutional, and end-user perspectives I'm open to research-heavy engagements, UX design projects, and hybrid research + design roles.

I'm a UX Researcher and Designer with a background at the intersection of Cognitive Science, Psychology, HCI, and Marketing, a combination that gives me a wider and more human perspective on how people think, behave, and interact with products and content. I work across three areas: UX research and design, academic writing, and content creation. What connects them is the same core skill: understanding people and communicating ideas clearly. On the UX side, I conduct user research, build personas, design wireframes and prototypes in Figma, and translate user needs into intuitive experiences. My psychology and HCI background means I don't just design interfaces; I understand the intentions and decisions behind them. As an academic writer, I bring research rigor, structured thinking, and attention to detail. I've published in a Scopus-indexed journal and have hands-on experience with qualitative methods, literature reviews, and research reports. As a content creator, I combine my marketing knowledge with storytelling to produce content that's not just well-written, but strategically aligned with audience and goals. If you're looking for someone who brings depth, curiosity, and a multidisciplinary perspective to their work, I'd love to collaborate.
