ABOUT ME

WHO AM I?

With over 10 years of experience in product design, UI/UX design, branding, and iconography, I am a senior product designer at Kixy, a fast-growing fintech start-up based in London. I have a global perspective and a Master of Arts in Design from the University of Florence. I am passionate about creating innovative fintech solutions that enhance the customer experience and empower them to manage their finances easily and efficiently.

In my current role, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and deliver the first social banking app, offering multi-currency accounts, borderless debit cards, and awesome social features. I apply user-centric design methodologies, such as user research, usability testing, and design sprints, to identify user needs, pain points, and opportunities for improvement.

I also create designs that are aesthetically pleasing, consistent, and intuitive while maintaining superb quality and staying within budget. Additionally, I communicate design decisions and rationales effectively to stakeholders and lead and manage people across different cultures and teams.
