Designing in fragility

Improving the quality of life in neglected territories, among marginalized communities, against imbalanced powers.

I am a designer working on (services and) systems, with 15+ years of experience in strategy, research, ideation, and implementation of solutions.

I help organizations on a wider mission, local authorities, non-profits, and younger changemakers with creative and participatory approaches.

For my applied research “promoting community experiences aimed at co-designing a convivial and sustainable future” I’ve been awarded the 2023 “Bandiera Verde” from Legambiente 1.
