Resume
Designing for the users since 2007
In brief
In Italy
I worked initially for an Italian Web agency for almost 4 years, gaining experience in e-commerce websites, web portals, young online businesses and web marketing strategies.
I then moved to a larger Italian company, improving my knowledge in Communication for Public Administration and services, multi-device approaches, Web standard (accessibility).
In the meantime I taught at the Tor Vergata University in my native Rome, focussing on usability theories and Web marketing guidelines to Professional Masters course students.
In United Kingdom
In the summer of 2013 I moved to London. I worked for 18 months in a Digital Company in London, where I challenged myself in responsive design and adaptive design, design for tablet and mobile Apps, international retail and e-commerce.
In May 2015 I joined a Creative digital agency (former Orange Digital) with focus on Service design and UCD approaches, contracting for one year.
I contracted for the financial industry for less than a year, challenging myself in designing interactions that will be used potentially by millions of customers every day.
I'm currently working for the publishing sector, focusing on improving the experience for one of the most famous scientific magazine online.
