@alessandroielitro
Product designer at Swarco who turned support tickets and survey feedback into MyCity improvements, raising user satisfaction by 20%.
What I'm looking for
At Swarco, I led UX/UI for MyCity, a mobility SaaS, using support tickets and survey responses to feed user feedback into the product and raise user satisfaction by 20%. I also directed the PARCO app redesign, refining its flows and introducing one-tap mobile payments.
At yumeda, I owned day-to-day client correspondence for MedWatcher, PPTA and Impact Festival. I triaged requests, coordinated escalations with designers and the delivery team, and tightened request logging and routing to cut iteration time by 20%.
Across product teams and consumer research, I’ve worked directly with users and participants, turning what they report into work teams can act on and closing the loop with them. I’m based in Montréal and ready for my next challenge.
