What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a product team that ships fast and thinks in systems, where I can own the full arc from hypothesis to testable prototype, combining UX/UI, AI-assisted development, and Design System governance. Ideally a remote-first environment where design and engineering are genuinely collaborative, and where AI is already part of the workflow (or about to be).

I design and build complex digital products for 1M+ users, combining UX/UI, AI-assisted development, and Design System rigor to ship testable prototypes fast.

Currently I build MVPs and cross-platform reference products using low-code + AI tools (Lovable, Base44, Claude Code, Claude Design, ChatGPT, Gemini), integrating API logic, webhooks, and LLM workflows to support engineering handoff and rapid iteration. My process turns early hypotheses into scalable, discardable prototypes teams can act on immediately.

Previously at Tiscali Italia, I led UX/UI strategy and delivered an enterprise Design System (Figma, tokens, variables) that reduced handoff time by 20–30% and drove funnel improvements of 15–20% through data-informed design decisions.
