ABOUT ME
Born in Milan, 1989.
Life is the best gift I ever had and I would never waste any single minute. I live with passion any experince, trying to get the best from people, facts and thoughts.
My design skills, together with creativity, are the tools I use trying to find smart solutions to solve problems or to realize dreams.
I found in music the most functional and trustable way to fix moods and a useful support to tune my dreams.
My first working place has been an old industry in Brooklyn New York, redesigned as an artists' house and atelier. This experience showed me how such a way of living and working was possible and incredibly inspiring. After writing my final thesis about the abandoned and reused buildings in Milan, I started working in this field, designing the cultural reactivation of an ex gym, Spazio Lambrate and working for BigSpaces on the temporal use of new and empty locations for companies events and meetings.
PRODUCT DESIGN - I studied and now practicing how to manage the different steps of a project, from the concept idea generation, to the technical drawings and the material choice, till the launch of the final product on the market, which requires graphic thoughts.
PRODUCT SERVICE SYSTEM DESIGN - The master gave me the tools to focus on social issues and design how to facilitate people's life, also through web platforms.
MUSIC
Guitar, percussion, piano and voice. Basically anything producing a sound inspires and attracts my music passion.
I love jamming with other musicians and to create perfect combinations of sounds and - mostly - rhythms.
My loop-station is the perfect tool for a"one.woman.band" project: I'm affascinated by the idea to create an orchestra and chorus, with my own forces.
LIFE EXPERIENCE
Travelling is a beautiful way to learn important tips about life. Getting to know different cultures opened my mind to new ways of thinking and of acting. My curiosity grows with my experience: the more I learn, the more I feel like I miss a lot.
My apprenticeship in New York has been an occasion to live extreme and creative adventures in the USA. The following erasmus experience in Germany has been a great opportunity to keep growing.
