sr. product & packaging designer

Milan, Italy
Design is much more than creating pretty shapes. “Good design enable, bad design disable” (EIDD Declaration Stockholm).
It should inspire, motivate and educate.

I love designing. More specifically, I love designing products that make people happy. And I love sweating the details until my products accomplish this.
