I design gamified digital platforms, user flows, and reusable UX systems for complex products.
ItalyWhat I'm looking for
I'm designing ELIS Innovation Hub's new digital platform, shaping its UI, UX, experience architecture, user flows, key features, and gamification logic. I use data analysis to inform adaptive features.
I've designed gamified applications, MOOC courses, and a tourism-platform prototype through Link Campus University's Applied Games Lab and ExpLore: Go-Ciociaria. My work combines user research, design heuristics, information architecture, and Figma-based design systems, supported by ongoing study in Computer Engineering and AI.
