Hi, I'm Annalisa! 👋

I’m a Product Designer with 10+ years of experience designing and building digital products, and 7+ years mentoring designers and founders. I specialize in creating intuitive and impactful SaaS, and AI-driven product experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked with both large organizations and innovative startups, across B2B and B2C environments, helping teams align design with business goals, scale design systems, and drive measurable product impact.

As a mentor I support designers at different stages of their careers, from junior designers building their first portfolio to senior designers growing into strategic roles.

How I can help you:

- Portfolio and CV reviews
- UX and product design feedback
- Interview preparation
- Career growth and role transitions
- Product thinking and design strategy
- Navigating B2B and complex product design
- Exploring AI tools and AI-assisted design workflows

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I started working with Annalisa in February, I came with a first version of my portfolio and uncertainty: she helped me turn both into something I'm genuinely proud of. She supported me across everything: portfolio, case studies, CV, LinkedIn, career direction and interview prep. But what made the real difference was her honesty. She gave me a realistic and professional perspective on where I was and what I needed to work on. Annalisa is generous, genuinely invested and always available. You can tell she really cares. If you're transitioning into UX or upskilling and looking for someone who will guide you with expertise and warmth she's exactly that person. Thanks a lot!

Annalisa is a wonderful mentor! She welcomes all kinds of questions and tries to provide the best answers to help you learn. She has taught me a lot about AI and was also a great listener when I shared my concerns and the barriers I faced in embracing it.

It was great having Annalisa as my mentor. I made a career switch into UI/UX design, and even though there is a lot that comes at you during such a transition, she helped me create structure and stay focused on the things that truly mattered. She gave me several concrete, actionable pieces of advice that I feel gave me an edge whilst building my portfolio and during the application process. I am confident that my mentorship with her helped me secure a job in the field more quickly. Thanks Annalisa!
