I'm a Designer

With passion, dedication, hard work, lots of ideas, desire to learn and improve

Passion, dedication and hard work are the key words of my way to work. Passion represents love for what I'm doing. Dedications means sacrifice for what I love. Hard work is the perseverance in trying to achieve my goals. I like to face problems, deeply analyze them and come up with new ideas and solutions. The best way to find a good idea is having lots of ideas. Someone call this creativity, but creativity is not an innate aptitude, is rather the ability to keep our curiosity alive. I keep mine alive through the desire to learn and improve.

Interaction Design

The connection between human behaviours and device reactions

I spent one year following the Interaction Design & Technologies programme at Chalmers University of Technologies, where I followed the Aesthetic of Interaction course, I worked with Prototyping in Interaction Design, and Interaction Design Methodologies. During my studies I had the opportunity to learn and try how to evaluate usability, to experiment evaluation methodologies, and techniques for exploring user experience.

Web Design & Development

Web design is an art that goes beyond what people see

I worked a lot with Web Design and redesign. I learned the rules and the principles at the University of Udine and then I applied and developed my skills with several work projects. I also studied for a few months Graphical Interfaces and Information Visualization. What I love the most is designing the user experience.

Many of the work projects I made are web based applications and websites. I design with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, and I develop mainly with html5, CSS3, PHP, jQuery and Java.

Mobile Design & Development

Designing the tools that will always stay us in the everyday life

In the last year I started a new interest: designing and developing for mobile devices. During my studies at Chalmers University of Technologies, I had the opportunity to follow a Mobile Computing course and I started developing for iOS platform.

Due also to my master thesis project, in the last year I worked on the gesture hinting topic for my master thesis project "Cicero: A Concept for Gesture Hinting on Mobile Devices".

Look in the portfolio: Cicero, Find Your Happiness.

Logo Design

Creativity needs its space to colour our days

I like to spend some of my spare time by designing new shapes and concepts, trying to express concepts and ideas through simple images. I'm far from beeing a graphical designer, but I like to express myself also through these tools. It relaxes me, and sometimes the result makes me proud of myself.

Beside the shapes and lines that I paint, there is always a rational that I want to express. I like to explain why and how I try to convey the meaning of the represented concept.
