What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an immediate opportunity in a full-remote role, with hybrid or on-site options considered in Rome, Milan, and surrounding areas. I want to apply my project coordination, product design, and UX skills in a results- and quality-focused environment.

My path started in design: I graduated with a Master's Degree in Product Design from Sapienza University of Rome (110/110 cum laude) and completed a postgraduate Master's in Product Design for Rapid Manufacturing. My first professional experiences were in this field, working as a Product Designer for studios such as OPEN Living Solutions and Paioletti Legnami, where I handled the design, 3D modeling, and rendering of custom furniture, following the process from concept through to technical drawings.

Over the following years, my path broadened into different areas: six years in high-end retail as a Sales Assistant for the brand Maje (SMCP Group), where I developed strong skills in customer relations, product storytelling, and visual merchandising; and two years as an Assistant Project Manager at Imp.El. S.r.l., coordinating suppliers, materials, and work progress across multiple construction sites, with close attention to timelines, quality, and resource optimization.

Today, I feel drawn back to my design roots, bringing with me everything I've built over the years: organizational skills, precision, customer focus, and project management experience. That's why I recently completed a UX Design Essentials Master's program at Talent Garden, a concrete first step toward rebuilding up-to-date skills in user research, wireframing, and prototyping, and toward steering my profile back into UX/UI design.

I'm aware this is, in part, a path I need to rebuild, but I'm approaching it with the motivation of someone who knows exactly where she wants to go — and who brings a background that's rare to find in a "junior" profile: real project management experience, direct client and supplier relationships, and a proven ability to deliver on time. I'm looking for an opportunity, including one for growth, to put this combination of skills to use and build a new chapter of my career in UX/product design, ideally in a full remote setting.
