About me

Dolomitic blood, global soul
I currently live on the Italian Alps, the Dolomites, after spending 14 years around many beautiful towns and cities: Langley (Canada), South Orange (USA), Milan (IT), Delft (NL), Barcelona (ES), Rome (IT), Canary Islands (ES) and Valencia (ES). I love travelling, immersing myself in different cultures and ways of living.
Passionate about people
I designed my job to involve lots of interactions with people: either co-creating new design strategies and concepts, or empowering others to re-discover themselves and re-design their lives.
What can we do together?
I'm imperfect, growing and evolving.
I'm creative, provocative
and challenging the status quo.
I'm also compassionate and caring
of people and the planet.
I'm stubborn and insatiably hungry
for betterment.

My story
When I was 8 I wanted to become an "inventor", that's how I used to call someone dedicated to solving people's problems and needs. I used to spend my weekends helping my dad at building stuff for the house and my mom’s shop. We were a great team!
Flash forward to who I am today, that problem-solving mindset and endless curiosity are still part of my DNA. Not only: they are the common thread in my career both as a lead service, strategic and business designer and as a coach.
