I, too, am a curious dudette! Born in ✹ 1990, designing stuff since 2010. Back in 2015, I started to focus on shaping new ➻ top-notch and ❧ attractive digital products, designing apps, websites and OSs across a variety of industries.

IN STEFI'S LIFE
After my studies in graphic design – where my roots still are – I built my forma mentis at frog design, my first work experience in a big digital company. During those years I learned how to effectively develop a strong creative process around digital products, working with a multi-disciplinary team and following each design phase, from in-field reasearch to fully-fledged detailed designs.
Now – actually since 2018 – I'm a happy Milan-based freelancer and I'm enjoying collaborating with different organizations, design companies and startups.
My dream projects are those where I can start from the brand identity and go through the product definition and the UX&UI, down to the smallest lovely detail inside a specific icon. And if there is the chance to create custom illustrations with my style, I'd be extremely happy.
I get shit done, with a smile.
I think my teammates appreciate it.

FREELANCE
EXPERIENCE
In 2018, I started my freelance career. What I really enjoy about freelancing is the fact that I can work with different teams, embrace new design approaches and see new work environments.

While collaborating with Huawei MARC – Milan Aesthetic Research Center –, I've been working as a visual designer in the UX team, spanning across all Huawei's consumer products – from new OS concepts to the automotive field, as well as new tablet and desktop experiences.

I had the pleasure of establishing a very good relationship with the Italian studio of Fjord, working with different teams and for different clients – such as Banco BPM, WeBank, Generali and BPER, mostly in the financial and insurance services. The redesign projects often consisted on building a whole new experience, both UX and UI on app or website.

During my first freelance commission, I had the chance to design projects for different Public Administration services.

I helped with the IO app project, during the first round of beta testing, finishing and realizing the prototype.
