About

Education

100% polytechnic.

I achieved the Master of Science Degree in Design della Comunicazione among the Politecnico di Milano, Scuola del Design in 2007. My thesis “Make in Italy” was about a collaborative platform for connecting SMEs and Designers.

During my graduation years I attended the ASP – Alta Scuola Politecnica, a multidisciplinary school founded by Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino restricted to 150 young and exceptionally talented students. My team worked on a home automation project focusing on Healthcare, Data Visualization and Wearables trends.

In 2006 I’ve been selected for the contest “Dac.tool – Design for Arts & Crafts” aimed at young Designers: a 1 year collaboration followed for a Made in Italy fashion brand that led to the digitalization of their whole catalog.
