About me

A product designer who codes.

I design software at Microsoft — research, ideation, prototyping, accessibility, and dev handover, end to end. I got here the long way round: I have been writing front-end code since 2017, and I still do. Knowing what a design costs to build makes me a better designer, not a part-time one.

I care deeply about creating experiences that are not only functional but also intuitive and inclusive. Based in Oslo, originally from Italy.
