About

Ciao! I’m a Senior Product Designer at Microsoft in Prague, where I help shape the future of meetings for Microsoft Teams. With over 7 years of experience as a design consultant working with international clients across diverse industries, including automotive and tobacco, I’ve honed my skills in every phase of the design process—from client communication and stakeholder engagement to customer involvement and co-design techniques.

As a mentor, I’m passionate about helping aspiring designers break into the tech industry. I can assist with refining your CV and portfolio, crafting compelling case studies to showcase your skills, and offering strategic advice for career growth in today’s competitive market. I’m also equipped to share tips on how to collaborate effectively with Product Managers and Engineers.

If you're seeking an experienced mentor who can guide you toward your goals, I’d be delighted to work with you.

A bit more about me: I have a background in Industrial Design and Visual & Innovation Design, and I began my career at Accenture in Rome, designing digital experiences for public services. After a year, I moved to Prague, where I currently live and work. Outside of my professional life, I’m an avid traveler, dedicated belly dancer, proud cat mom, and plant enthusiast.

I was at the beginning of my career as a UX researcher, and Eleonora’s guidance meant a lot to me. She was incredibly supportive and genuinely showed that she cared. Throughout my mentorship, she was always available and approachable, which I truly appreciated. Eleonora played a big role in helping me with my customer journey mapping project—she shared her own experiences and gently steered me in the right direction. Her encouragement gave me the confidence to trust my instincts and grow professionally. I’m really grateful to have had her as a mentor during that time.
