Hi 👋 I'm Emanuele,
Product designer
shaping human
digital experiences
I work across research, UX, UI and design systems to ship products that feel simple by craft, not by accident. Deeply curious about cognitive psychology and how the brain meets technology. I thrive in cross-functional teams — where good design is built together. Currently at Satispay, previously Deloitte Digital.

Core skills
🔬
Research-led design
User interviews, usability tests, lo-fi co-design sessions. I treat research as the cheapest insurance against shipping the wrong thing.
🧩
End-to-end UX
From the first whiteboard to the last QA round. Information architecture, flows, edge cases, the empty-list-with-two-items moment.
✨
Interaction & UI
Pixel-considered interfaces with care for type, rhythm, motion. A clean visual layer that doesn't get in the way of the task.
🧱
Design systems
Variables, tokens, component states, theming, documentation. I love the part where one design choice cascades to thirty screens.
📝
UX writing & localization
Microcopy that respects the user, glossary work, multi-language coordination across IT, EN, FR and DE.
♿
Accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA as a baseline, not a checklist. Contrast, focus order, screen reader logic, touch target size, motion sensitivity.
AI Workflow · 2026
How I work with AI, day to day 🤖
🔬01
Research synthesis at 10x speed
I cluster interview transcripts with Claude and ChatGPT, draft affinity maps in minutes, and sanity-check insights against raw quotes. Saves hours, raises the floor of every research debrief.

✍️02
UX copy iterations
From error messages to push notifications: I generate 5–10 alternatives in different tones, then prune ruthlessly. AI proposes — I curate against glossary and tone of voice.

Code-aware prototypes
For tricky interactions I build working HTML/JS prototypes with Cursor or Claude Code — quicker than wiring Figma, and engineers can fork them. Closes the gap between design and shipped code.

Custom skills & agents
I build internal Claude skills for repetitive workflows: meeting-notes to project tracker, copy buddy, request-factory for user stories, Lokalise translation. Less busywork, more design.

What drives me
Neuroscience
How attention, memory, and bias quietly shape every screen. Where cognitive psychology meets design.
People
I coach a kids' football team, I'm a blood donor, I volunteer with the Italian civil protection.
Technology
Code, Arduino, Unity, and the constant tinkering to understand what's possible. I learn faster when I make things.
Off-screen craft
Photography, chess, trekking, strategy games. Small daily disciplines that train my eye and patience.
