About

Hello, nice to meet you!
I’m Riccardo and for the past 10 years I’ve been shaping interactive digital products.

In my work I focus on making customers happy and help businesses grow. Today I’m more interested in a product that is informative and helpful rather than a product that looks pretty.

I own the design process from concept to implementation:

  • conduct user research and usability testings;
  • create user-flows and prototypes;
  • define design systems and style guidelines;
  • build websites and code components for modern frameworks.

Knowing how to write front-end code and understanding how it performs has taught me how I can help teams in bridging the divide between the design and development worlds.

In my spare time I love going climbing and being outdoor exploring the mountains.
