How it all began ⤳
In 2016, my creative journey started at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania.
That's
where my love affair with all things design began. Over the next five years, I got
to see just how much design is woven into our lives – way more than I ever realized
before.
While I was studying, I thought, "Why not put what I'm learning to good use?" So, I
jumped into the real world and joined Flazio, this awesome web design company
in
Italy. And then, I took a dive into the world of digital product design at
YOOX,
spending nearly two years polishing up my skills.
After I got the hang of UI design, I started thinking about how design could
actually make life better for people. Fast forward to 2022, I joined a master's
program in User Experience Psychology in Milan. Fancy name, right? It was a
joint
program between Politecnico di Milano (known for its academic excellence) and
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano (one of the oldest and most respected
psychology schools).
Upon completing my master's degree, I joined Fjord (now Accenture Song).
There, I got to team up with some seriously smart folks in the
industry, working on projects that had a positive impact on tons of people.
But you know how it is – the itch for new adventures never really goes away. So, in
the summer of 2023, I took a leap and left Italy for Amsterdam. Why? To join one of
the world's top digital design and communications agencies, AKQA. I'm excited
to keep
growing, learning, and finding fresh ways to see the world as a designer.
And that's where the story ends, for now, 千里の道も一歩から
