Hands-on support
Hi! I'm an Industrial Designer and Founder based in Lisbon, Portugal. I'm originally from Venice, Italy. I started design consulting with IDEO in the US and Japan, on a wide variety of projects across automotive, health, consumer products, and new technologies.
Following my dream, I recently cofounded Strays, a design team focused on helping startups to develop innovative physical products, interface and brand. We use a human-centered approach to design. Some of our recent projects include supersonic airplanes and AI hardware. We launched successful products to the market that won many awards and made considerable impact in people's life (check out the Ikou Chair in Japan as an example).
Check out my team's work at:

Aside of consulting, I also recently started a motorcycle protection company and a ceramics startup.
I'm very laid back, funny, and very passionate about my job.
The ideal mentee is a curious person, who doesn't hesitate to ask a question, to get the most out of my support. You have no ego, and are open to feedback. I can help you improve any aspect of portfolio, provide design critique on projects, skills assessment, tips on design process, career advice and strategy.
Feel free to write me, I'd be more than happy to give you a trial!
