I work as a Senior Strategic Designer in the fields of Service Design, UX Design, Interaction Design, User Research, User Interface Design, Usability Testing and managing small remote groups of designers and developers.
I the last 25 years I have been designing, developing, writing, speaking and teaching about digital technologies.
I am expanding my online and live Facilitation services to cover: Collective Intelligence Design, Systems Practice and Systems Change.
I aim at improving the well-being of people and the planet while promoting the sustainable adoption of new technologies and co-designing ecosystem-centered solutions. I facilitate learning processes by simplifying the complex.
I believe in Systems Thinking, Critical Thinking and Design Thinking and I feel I have never learnt enough about being more effective and efficient with those disciplines.
I am writing about my experience on this blog. Something I wanted to do for more than 20 years.

I am based in Rome, Italy. Although I can travel I would prefer remote work.
